Shadows On The Wall

I'm watching two shadows on the wall, They're standing very close; It's a man and a woman facing each other, He's offering her a rose; She puts out her hand and then hesitates, She's not sure what to do; It's a tainted rose from a man she trusted, He's confessing to being untrue; I see tears rolling down her face As her hands fall to her side; He tries to get closer, but she backs away, O, damn her foolish pride! She's talking to him and wiping her tears As she points toward the door; He bows his head, and as he turns to go The rose falls to the floor. Now her shadow stands alone on the wall, She'll stand there for eternity; I remember it like it was yesterday - Those shadows of you and me. If I had the chance to do it again, I'd accept the rose and forgive; Now I'm just a shadow of a woman Without a reason to live. Learn a lesson from this, dear friend, We all make mistakes, and we fall; Learn to forgive, or you'll be like me Recalling shadows of love on the wall.
