Shadow On My House Lyrics - Madness

I loved a girl, but I messed around 

Now she's with another, so I found 

They say better to have loved and lost than not have loved at all 

Much more than my foolish pride has took a fall 

They all tell me about mistakes that I have made 

And I have no doubt my hand was overplayed 

There's a shadow on my house 

The windows shed no light 

Since you've gone I feel so wrong 

I can't tell day from night 

All too late I have learnt 

Burn the candle at both ends and you'll get burnt 

How could there be a fool such as I 

To let you walk away out of my life? 

Sitting here alone, all the days seem the same 

I don't know how much longer I can stand the pain 

There's a shadow on my house 

The windows shed no light 

Since you've gone I feel so wrong
