Shadows & Lights

I don’t like being afraid of you
But I see you better than the rest
I hear all of the words you say
And I feel like I’m put to the test
The things that you are afraid to say
You showed me when you made me look a fool
Well, it’s lies that hurt all the time, my love
The truth will only hurt once

Cause in a world full of lies
Where most tears will end in goodbyes
The truth is my only disguise
Just look in my eyes
It’s all shadows and lights

Your shadows once were a thrill to me
But everything comes with a price
You said that we were never meant to be
But I felt like throwing the dice
The day when it all went awry for me
Was the day that you promised woud come
The one thing that we could not foresee
Was the place where the truth would come from

Don’t look away as the rising sun
Comes up inside of you
And your shadows melt away
Don’t you know that the water’s rushing up
Just to wash it all away
So don’t look away

Now I know I don’t need to be afraid of you
My heart still knows love the best
And inside all of the lies you told
The truth was coming to rest
