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

Chorus

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

Chorus
