Shadows in the Light Lyrics

I Wish you had the best of me

I always try my best to be

The one who gave you everything

You always wanted to be

I see the dreams within your eyes

A life that I can't realize

You want the stars, the moon, the sky

But I'm just a man who can't comply

I promise love, I promise care

But I can't give what isn't there

The castles made of sand will fall

I'm just too small, I'm just too small

I wish I could give you the world

Every diamond, every pearl

But I'm just a shadow in the light

Trying to make it through the night

I feel the weight of dreams unmet

In this cage of my regret

Frustration echoes in my mind

For a life I can't provide

You deserve the finest things

A life of queens and diamond rings

But all I have are simple ways

And endless nights of endless days

I see the doubt within your stare

A silent scream of deep despair

The riches that I can't bestow

A burden that you'll never know

I wish I could give you the world

Every diamond, every pearl

But I'm just a shadow in the light

Trying to make it through the night

I feel the weight of dreams unmet

In this cage of my regret

Frustration echoes in my mind

For a life I can't provide

You deserve the finest things

A life of queens and diamond rings

But all I have are simple ways

And endless nights of endless days

I see the doubt within your stare

A silent scream of deep despair

The riches that I can't bestow

A burden that you'll never know

The dreams you have, they slip away

With every promise that I say

I'm fighting battles I can't win

Lost in a world that I am in

I wish I could give you the world

Every diamond, every pearl

But I'm just a shadow in the light

Trying to make it through the night

I feel the weight of dreams unmet

In this cage of my regret

Frustration echoes in my mind

For a life I can't provide

So here I stand, so small, so weak

With words of love I cannot speak

I wish I could, I truly tried

But it's a life I can't provide
