Shadows
Parabelle Lyrics

A few more breaths that you can't count
I am holding on to my last few breaths, and you are not worth counting them in.

At least not on me
I do not place any importance on you to count my breaths for me.

If you'd shut your eyes, I'd shut my mouth
If you stopped looking at me, I would stop talking to you.

Cuz you mean nothing to me
You hold no value or significance to me.

And I would lift you up
I would make you feel good and important.

So I could let you fall cuz I
But eventually, I would let you down and abandon you because

Was going nowhere from the start
I had no intention of going anywhere with you from the beginning.

And nowhere's where it ends
Our relationship and whatever we had was destined to go nowhere.

And I will leave you in shadows
I will desert you and leave you all alone in the dark.

Of where I used to be
I will go away forever and fade away from your memories.

You won't be afraid
You won't fear my absence and departure.

But I was wrong
I was mistaken and misunderstood my own feelings and intentions.

I lived so you wouldn't be alone
I kept you around so you wouldn't be lonely and by yourself.

But you deserve better than this
But you deserve someone much better than me and this.

Better than this!
You are worthy of a better life and better love than this.

Don't you know?
Don't you realize this?

A few more lessons you can count
Here are some more life lessons to learn from me.

If I said
If I could explain

We were missing all the points
You and I were just not getting the gist of things.

But still had it all
We had everything we wanted, but it was not enough.

And I would let you know
I would inform you and make you aware of everything.

How the story goes, and how
I would narrate the next chapter of our tale, and where

And how it starts and where it ends
It would begin and how it would conclude.

With everything you said
Using all the words you had told me.

And don't you know the hate that's on my heart is from your hands
You are the reason I hold so much anger and bitterness in my heart.

When you let it go
When you finally let me down and moved on.

I guess it's all in the way you suffer for my love
I suppose it has to do with the way you paid for my affection and admiration.

You better let it go
I suggest you move on and forget about me.

Before it gets the best of you
Before it consumes and destroys you completely.

And who wins
In the end, who will come out victorious?

When we both lose a lot
Even though we will both lose so much.

I loved you
I did love you.

At least so I thought
Or at least that's what I had convinced myself of.

And I deserve to be alone!
I know I deserve to be alone and have no one but myself.

To be alone!
To live in solitude and not involve anyone else.

Cuz you deserve better than this!
Because you truly do deserve much better than me and what I can offer.

You deserve better than this
Again, I say, you are worthy of something greater than what we had.

Don't you know?
Can't you see this for yourself?
