[Chorus] Standing in the shadows of love I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love? I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come [Verse 1] I wanna run, but there's nowhere to go 'Cause heartaches will follow me, I know Without your love, the love I need It's the beginning of the end for me 'Cause you've taken away my reasons for living When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving Now wait a minute [Pre-Chorus] Didn't I treat you right now, baby Didn't I? Didn't I do the best I could now Didn't I? [Chorus] So don't you leave me standing in the shadows of love I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love? Just trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come [Verse 2] All alone, I'm destined to be With misery my only company It may come today, and it might come tomorrow But it's for sure, I ain't got nothing but sorrow Now don't your conscience kinda bother you? How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you? Now hold on a minute [Pre-Chorus] Gave you all the love I had now Didn't I? When you needed me, I was always there now Wasn't I? [Verse 3] (Standing in the shadows of love Getting ready for the heartaches to come) I'm trying not to cry out loud (Standing in the shadows of love) You know crying, it ain't gonna help me now (Getting ready for the heartaches to come) What did I do to cause you all this grief? Now, what did I say to make you wanna leave? Now, wait a minute [Pre-Chorus] Gave my heart and soul to you, baby Didn't I? And didn't I always treat you good now Didn't I? [Chorus] I'm standing in the shadows of love I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love? Trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come Oh, I'm standing in the shadows of love I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
