  • It's not surprising it could end like this
    Your eyes are open even when you kiss, you're so distant
    So cold, so resistant
    You see the world in only gray and black
    Now how can anybody live like that?
    Without screaming, without dying for dreaming

    And you stare out the window at the passing cars
    And you look at the sky, thank your unlucky stars
    No you're never quite happy right where you are

    So you keep on inventing shadows
    Where there are none, no there are none
    Yeah you keep on inventing shadows
    Where there are none
    You don't even see the sun, can't you see the sun?

    It can't be shocking I might want to leave
    The way you're living's like you're half asleep
    You just drain me
    If I go, who could blame me?

    And you stare out the window at the passing cars
    And you look at the sky, thank your unlucky stars
    No you're never quite happy right where you are
    Right where you are, with all that you are

    So you keep on inventing shadows
    Where there are none, no there are none
    Yeah you keep on inventing shadows
    Where there are none
    You don't even see the sun, can't you see the sun?

    You're so young, so beautiful
    So flawless in my eyes
    Don't you know the world shines
    Every time you smile?
    Why can't you just smile?

    So you keep on inventing shadows
    Where there are none, no there are none
    Yeah you keep on inventing shadows
    Where there are none
    You don't even see the sun, can't you see the sun?

    You dim the lights in the world I see
    How I wish that I could still believe
    Time to save me
    If I go, who could blame me? Writer/s: Fraser Smith, Joshua Peter Kear
