boulevard of broken dreams
2 Shadows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
AND I WALK ALONE
I WALK A LONELY ROAD
THE ONLY ONE THAT I HAVE EVER KNOWN
DON'T KNOW WHERE IT GOES
BUT IT'S ONLY ME AND I WALK ALONE
I WALK THIS EMPTY STREET
WHERE THE CITY SLEEPS
I'M THE ONLY ONE AND I WALK ALONE
AND I WALK ALONE
I WALK ALONE
I WALK ALONE
AND I WALK A-
MY SHADOW'S THE ONLY ONE THAT WALKS BESIDE ME
MY SHALLOW HEART'S THE ONLY THING THAT'S BEATING
SOMETIMES I WISH SOMEONE OUT THERE WILL FIND ME
TILL THEN I WALK ALONE
I'M WALKING DOWN THE LINE
THAT DIVIDES ME SOMEWHERE IN MY MIND
ON THE BORDERLINE
OF THE EDGE AND WHERE I WALK ALONE
I WALK ALONE
AND I WALK A-
READ BETWEEN THE LINES
WHATS FUCKED UP AND EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT
CHECK MY VITAL SIGNS
AND KNOW IM STILL ALIVE
AND I WALK A-
MY SHADOW'S THE ONLY ONE THAT WALKS BESIDE ME
MY SHALLOW HEART'S THE ONLY THING THAT'S BEATING
SOMETIMES I WISH SOMEONE OUT THERE WILL FIND ME
TILL THEN I WALK ALONE
I WALK A LONELY ROAD
THE ONLY ONE THAT I HAVE EVER KNOWN
DON'T KNOW WHERE IT GOES
BUT IT'S ONLY ME AND WALK ALONE
MY SHADOW'S THE ONLY ONE THAT WALKS BESIDE ME
MY SHALLOW HEART'S THE ONLY THING THAT'S BEATING
SOMETIMES I WISH SOMEONE OUT THERE WILL FIND ME
TILL THEN I WALK ALONE
