I feel your resistance in your body
Though you try to hide it
I know there's a battle in your mind

I'm feeling the distance
You are drifting and I just can't fight it
How do we go on like this
Putting everything at risk

Hard to live with the shadow side of me
You need what I can't be
Holding on to an image of a man
If you're looking for perfection
That is not the way I am

You say that you love me
But a future is too hard to promise
It's making no sense to my head

I know there's a dark side of my spirit
Where yo just can't find me
There is not a saint in here
Just a tarnished soul who cares

Hard to live with the shadow side of me
You need what I can't be
Holding on to an image of a man
If you're looking for perfection
That is not the way 

It all started all right
Making love in the twilight
Is any man what a girl dreams
Is any girl forever
Exactly what she seems

Hard to live with the shadow side of me
You need what I can't be
Holding on to an image of a man
If you're looking for perfection
That is not the way I am

Hard to live with the shadow side of me
