Shadow of a Doubt Lyrics

Beth Orton

It's true your love has been a lesson
And it's taught me more than any other blessing
You're the one that can wrestle me
C'mon hold me down now one, two, three
I get too weak to fight from all this laughing
And I am not even yours to run to
And you are not even mine to cry to
And we are not even here to speak of
You go your way my love
You go your way
It's true that I have got a head full
Of voices saying the first thing that's in their heart
And I go to throw a ball with my best intention
And it gets caught up and carried away
In completely the opposite direction
And then you're not really mine to run to
I am not even mine to cry to
And I am not even here to speak of
You go your way my love
You go your way
You are not even mine to run to
You were never quite mine to cry to
And we are not really here to speak of
You go your way my love
You go your way
With not one shadow of a doubt
You go your way
