CThough the door was open wide not a Fsound came from inside
So G7I looked and saw two shadows on the Cwall
One was new and strange to me one my Fsweetheart dear to me
How G7it hurt to see those shadows on the Cwall
They were Fkissing like true lovers always Cdo
D7Right then and there I knew that we were G7through
CSo I turned and walked away broken Fhearted to this day
All G7because of those two shadows on the Cwall
Not a tear came to my eyes I was Fhurt too much to cry
By G7that faithful kiss of shadows on the Cwall
Now I know the misery of Fliving with the memory
Of G7that night I saw those shadows on the Cwall
If my Fheart could only fall for someone Cnew
D7But it's afraid to take the chance it's G7true
CNothing seems to heal the wound guess Fthat I'm forever doomed
To G7be haunted by the shadows on the Cwall
