While we're in the dark
you'd have to hold me,
Make me feel this isn't a lie,
my heart is breaking quietly.

Kiss me while the lights are off,
before time steals the opportunity.
When the lights are on and eyes were open
you'd have to drift away again from me.

Will I ever be able to touch you
under all of their scrutiny?
Were we only meant for the shadows?
My love—you deeply hurt me.

When will we open the lights?
For everyone to see?
I am your dirty little secret
Will I ever be worthy?
