Lyrics

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'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 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 so cold, i almost froze, until i met you, 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, standing in the shadows, standing in the shadows of love
