shadow days

Singer: mayer, john

did you know that you could be wrong

and swear you're right

some people been known to do it

all their lives

but you find yourself alone

just like you found yourself before

like i found myself in pieces

on the hotel floor

hard times

help me see

i'm a good man with a good heart

had a tough time

got a rough start

but i finally learned to let it go

now i'm right here

and i'm right now

and i'm open

knowing somehow

that my shadow days are over

my shadow days are over now

well i ain't no trouble maker

and i never meant her harm

but it doesn't mean i didn't make it

hard to carry on

well it sucks to be honest

and it hurts to be real

but it's nice to make some love

that i can finally feel

hard times

let me be

i'm a good man with a good heart

had a tough time

got a rough start

but i finally learned to let it go

now i'm right here

and i'm right now

and i'm open

knowing somehow

that my shadow days are over

my shadow days are over now
