In the Shadows of Us

In the Shadows of Us (Moody R&B • Secret affair • Beautiful + heartbreaking) Intro (echoed harmonies) (In the shadows… shadows… of us…) (Yeah… it’s where we hide…) Verse 1 We meet where the moonlight cover our sins, You take off your ring before you walk in. I act like I’m fine, like I understand, But I’m dyin’ inside touchin’ another woman’s man. (Another woman’s man… ohh…) Pre-Chorus You whisper my name like you whisper her lies, We hold each other close, pretend it’s divine. But when sunrise hits, everything fades, And I go back to bein’ your secret shade. Chorus (harmonies + emotional runs) In the shadows of us… That’s the only place we fit. In the shadows of us… Where your love and your guilt coexist. (Oooh… shadows of us…) Verse 2 You tell me you care, but you still go home, Leaving me curled up in this bed alone. I know I should leave, but you pull me too strong, We addicted to a feeling that’s dead wrong. (Wrong… but so right…) Bridge (haunting vocals) Hide me… Find me… Break me… Bind me… We trapped in a place where love ain’t free… But you still come runnin’ back to me… Final Chorus In the shadows of us… Our hearts beat loud, but we hush. In the shadows of us… We love in secret… ‘cause daylight too much. (Shadows… shadows… ohhh…)
