Standing In the Shadows of Love |
| I’ve been standing in the shadows of love |
| Hiding from the sun up above |
| Wondering if my heart |
| Would ever feel the spark |
| And say — I’ve finally had enough |
| I’ve been standing in the shadows of love |
| I built a wall of the stones I’d swallowed |
| Stones of fear and pride |
| I built it tall so no one could follow |
| And bother me inside |
| I lived my life in that wall’s shade |
| I hid behind the games I played |
| But now it’s time to make my getaway |
| I used to have such a mean reputation |
| I was cold and cruel |
| When I walked into a new situation |
| I knew just what to do |
| I thought this world was full of fools |
| Except for me, who could play it cool |
| I played cold, I almost froze |
| Until I met you |
