Shade - Boston Manor

I remember the day you discovered your shadow

You were in the back garden by the apple tree

What’s your favorite color, what songs do you like?

What makes you angry, and what makes you cry?

You know that I mean well

But I missed your call & I forgot to return it

You gave me your love, even though I’ve not earned it

Because you’re good to me and I deserve to see

How it makes you feel when I always leave

I hope that you miss me

There will be time someday

Apologize, I’ll compromise

Avoid my eyes

I’d rather go back into your shade

But I’ll miss your progress

From the mess that I made

Tell mum I’m alright, and tell dad I’m okay

Did you get the last card I sent on your birthday?

I wish that we were closer

I wish that you had known me when I was younger

And understood the choices that I’ve made
