Inventing Shadows Lyrics By Dia Frampton

    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 grey and black
    now how can anybody live like that
    without screaming
    without dying for dreaming

    pre
    and you stare out the window with 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

    you can’t be shocked that 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

    pre
    and you stare out the window with 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
