Spider Cues, Tyler Chad Evans - The Man In Black Lyrics

Verse:
It was cold and dark
When he came looking to get me
Wanting to leave his mark
At first I tried to run
But can't run fast enough
My weary legs could only take me so far
As I grew weak
I knew he must be upon my heels
I had to turn and face him come soon
When I could run no more
I hit the ground, turned around
And I knew what I had to do
Yes I knew what I had to do

Chorus:
Leave me alone
You can't have this soul
I know we might be misunderstood
But love is all I know
Leave me alone
You can't have this soul
I know you might be misunderstood
But love is all I know
Love is all I know

Verse:
And I got burnt
When I stepped out of the shadows
Tired of waiting around that old and broken place
When you're around
This house is not a home
Turning all my thoughts to lead
When it's gold he made (gold he made)
Oh God above
Heaven please help me
I realized that I needed it
When he had started creeping in
Oh wicked me
Mirror look at me
A ghost, a shell
He wants to come inside
And steal my dreams
I said he wants to come inside
And steal my dreams, please

Chorus:
Leave me alone
You can't have this soul
I know we might be misunderstood
But love is all I know
Leave me alone
You can't have this soul
I know you might be misunderstood
And with eyes as black as coal
He said

Verse:
You ain't seen what I've seen
And if you had, you might just change your mind about me
The serpent on my own
I paid the toll
I fell from grace
And heaven knows
I lost myself
Trying to find myself
That knowledge hurts
You don't deserve to feel the pain that it will cost you
I now see what he saw
When God created it all
And if I could change the outcome
My fate be undone
I'd leave that garden never to return
He said he'd leave that garden never to return

Chorus:
Leave me be
I can hear the truth that's in his voice
But a slick tongue was always made to lie
You and me
I believe we have a lot of differences
But also think we may be just alike
Misunderstood
Mistakes we made they didn't make us wrong
It just took a lot of pain to see the harm that I had caused
Misunderstood
Mistakes we make they never take our worth
But sometimes it takes a lot of pain to see the cost
Sometimes it takes a lot of pain to see the cost
That it will cost
