Can't seem to shake the shadow   That's stapled to my feet   I've peeled it off so many times   But now it feels just like a part of me   Even surgery won't fix, oh well      Does it have a mind of it's own?   Am I giving it ideas?   Does it grow like cancer every time I close my eyes   And start to think   Of anything but you?   Can't tell      Lay me to waste, my heart is a crowded place   There's only room for one   Lay me to waste   My history's in the way of what I should become      I feel your freedom fighting   To detonate my soul   Your love is on the trigger   Mine is off holding on the safer things   Like what I used to be for so long   You're softly screamin' at me   My ears are hard to tame   They only listen when they wanna' hear   But hearing's just the start of it   'Cause now I must admit that I've been wrong      Lay me to waste, my heart is a crowded place   There's only room for one   Lay me to waste   My history's in the way of what I should become      What a mess I've made trying to save my face      Your love is on the trigger      Lay me to waste, my heart is a crowded place   There's only room for one   Lay me to waste   My history's in the way of what I should be   I should be
