Shadow and Light

[Intro] [Verse 1] We meet where no one knows us Between the dark and dawn You hold me like a secret That must never be made known You say the world’s not ready For the truth we try to hide But love begins to wither When it’s pushed out of the light [Pre-Chorus] But every stolen moment Leaves a scar you cannot hide And love begins to wonder Why it’s always pushed aside [Chorus] We meet in borrowed hours Where nobody can see You say the world’s not ready For what you feel for me But hearts don't grow in darkness Where truth is denied Love that lives in the shadow Will never survive the light [Verse 2] I watch you walk through daylight Like I was never there Laughing with the strangers Who don’t know that we share All the quiet promises You whisper in the night But promises grow fragile When they’re hidden from the light [Pre Chorus] And every door you close on me Leaves something left unsaid Love cannot keep breathing If it’s buried with the dead [Chorus] We meet in borrowed hours Where nobody can see You say the world’s not ready For what you feel for me But hearts don’t grow in darkness Where truth is denied Love that lives in the shadow Will never survive the light [Bridge] If love must hide forever Then it isn't love at all A heart that fears the daylight Has already started to fall Truth is where love breathes Or where it says goodbye [Final Chorus (Lift)] I won’t live in the shadows Of someone else’s life I won’t be your secret Hidden from the light If love is meant to last It must stand and testify Love that lives in the shadow Will never survive the light [Outro] Love that lives in the shadow… will never survive the light.
