I finally go a metronome and have tried to use it. So this is the updated version with it. The song is about a user of love.

Me and the girls I work with were talking about relationships with boyfriends and their ex's and the title popped in my head and here it is. Just got the copyrights. E-filing takes 4 months. Just so everybody knows.

Livin In The Shadows
by Wendy Stagner(c) Nov. 2008

His first love left just before
He decided to darken my door
Thinkin I would be the cure.
With no clue on my mind,
That he was the usin kind.

Now I'm livin in the shadows of an ex-girlfriend
He calls by her name every now and then
and it hurts
Like a knife cut to the bone
When am I gonna wake up
When am I gonna face up,
To what's going on.

Comparisons they left me bare
Clothes to how I wore my hair
Comments made I thought he cared,
but now I finally see
He was holdin on to her memories.

So now I'm livin in the shadows of an ex-girlfriend
He calls me by her name every now and then
and it hurts
Like a knife cut to the bone
Now I'm startin to wake up
Now I'm startin to face up
to what's going on.

Perfumed shirts and late night calls
I don't believe his lies at all.
The writin is on the wall
and it's perfectly clear
There just isn't room for three here.

No more
Livin in the shadows of an ex-girlfriend
He won't call me by her name again
No more pain
Like a knife cut to the bone
Now that I have woke up
Now that I have faced up
I'll be movin on

Now that I have woke up
Now that I have faced up
I'm movin on

And no more
Livin in the shadows of an ex-girlfriend....
