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



[Chorus:]

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 you just can't find me

There is not a saint in here

just a tarnished soul who cares



[Chorus:]

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



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
