Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

I wanna run, but there's nowhere to go
'Cause heartaches will follow me, I know
Without your love, the love I need
It's the beginning, beginning of the end for me

'Cause you've taken away my reasons for living
When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving
Now wait a minute

Didn't I treat you right now, baby
Didn't I? (Didn't I?)
Didn't I do the best I could now, baby
Didn't I? (Didn't I?)

So don't you leave me standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come, woah

All alone I'm destined to be
With misery my only company
May come today, in fact, may come tomorrow
But it's for sure I ain't got nothing but sorrow

Now don't your conscience kinda bother you?
How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you?
Now hold on a minute

Gave you all the love I had now
Didn't I? (Didn't I?)
When you needed me, I was always there now
Wasn't I? (Wasn't I?)

Don't you leave me standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you leave me standing in the shadows of love
Hey, I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

Don't you leave me standing in the shadows of love
Oh, I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
(Standing in the shadows of love) hey
Hey (I'm getting ready for the heartches to come)

Shadows of love (standing in the shadows of love)
(Getting ready for the heartches to come)
