All you needed was love that stayed Not hollow words that slowly fade You gave your heart with all you knew They kept on taking parts of you You hid away each wounded thought Like love was only pain and loss You bore a weight not yours to hold Through shattered doors and nights so cold Each promise faded into flame Till love and fear became the same I know the fear beneath your skin The war that rages deep within I know the pain of standing guard Trying to love while battle-scarred Through fading light and pouring rain We found each other through the pain And piece by piece we broke those chains Escaping all the hurt and shame When all the darkness closed around We held our place, we stood our ground Two hearts reaching through the shade Holding on when hope had strayed We both stayed strong While we danced in the shadow Danced in the shadow Danced in the shadow Now our love grows brighter While we dance in the shadow Dance in the shadow Dance in the shadow When all your past pulls at your soul I'll be the arms that keep you whole Your heart was never made for chains Or drowning in the endless rain Each tear you fought so hard to hide Only pulls me to your side No fear, no games, no twisted love Just open arms when life gets rough I'll never turn your heart to pain Or leave you stranded in the rain I'll stand beside you through the dark And keep your soul safe in my heart The strongest hearts still break at times But healing love can make us rise And after every storm we faced I hope your heart has found its place And through the darkness we'll stand tall No more fear of losing all Two hearts once lost now beating strong Finally feeling we belong We both stayed strong While we danced in the shadow Danced in the shadow Danced in the shadow Now our love grows brighter While we dance in the shadow Dance in the shadow Dance in the shadow So lay your weary heart with mine You don't have to fight this life I'll love the parts still bruised and weak The silent pain you could not speak And when the dark pulls you below I'll be the hand that gives you hope After all we've struggled through Love brought me safely home to you We'll remain forever strong While we dance in the shadow Dance in the shadow Dance in the shadow And our love keeps shining ever brighter As we rise beyond the shadow Still dancing in the shadow Dancing in the shadow Dancing in the shadow...
