In shadows deep, where whispers glide, The truth takes on a cloak to hide, In tangled webs of silken lies, It breathes beneath the darkened skies. I’ve been going through something girl console me. I’m going make you take the lead, yeah you can control me
If you’re not right by my side, where will I go? If you ever switch sides, how will I know?

A lover’s kiss, a fleeting glance, A promise born from happenstance, In eyes that shine with hidden pain, The truth is there, a whispered name. I apologize if you cry I know am the cause Baby (I apologize)
If we both lie to each other, we won’t go far
I close my eyes and I dream of you, yes every night, but what if it’s the midnight creatures creeping into my mind .

In laughter's echo, sorrow sleeps, In joy, a secret longing weeps, Through veils of words and silent cries, I ain't lying, it's the truth but in disguise. Running my fingers through your hair, trying to pick your brain
I hope you believe everything I say, I’m not here to play no games, So unfair how you treat me, stay right there girl don’t leave me
It’s so rare that I found you, it’s so rare that you found me.

A fleeting dream, a broken past, A love that couldn't seem to last, In every smile, in every sigh, A truth concealed, a reason why.
The stars that shine in midnight’s sea, Reflect the truths we cannot see, In hearts entwined, yet worlds apart, The truth lies silent in the heart.
So listen close and seek the signs, In whispered winds and ancient pines, For in the shadows, truth resides, I ain't lying, it's the truth but in disguise.
