Time has come today
No more waiting
Until a new day
Don't you feel the anger
In your bones
Don't you want to hide
The knife in your lover's back
Until it's all shades of black
My darling, there's nothing
I can do
Until the memories fade
Shades of black
Will have to do
The sun never shines
On the dark side of you
Right now I'm losing it all
If I haven't already
I'm about to fall
The help you promised
Not even a phone call
I've got my back to the wall
That's when it all fades to black
Why is the world so cruel
Why do lovers break the rules
I can't remember
The good times we had
Only the lies and excuses we made
And then it all was changed
There's nothing else
I can do
Until the memories fade
Shades of black
Will have to do
The sun never shines
On the dark side of you
Right now I'm losing it all
If I haven't already
I'm about to fall
I've got my back to the wall
there's nothing else
I can do
Until the memories fade
Shades of black
Will have to do
