When everyone has left me
before the coming of night
I hear you come creeping through the door.
Blinded by your love
and the secrets you keep
together we danced in the dark.
When all that surrounds us is coming apart
we dreamt until the dawn stole our dreams.

You are the silhouette
that keeps me alive
when everyone has turned out the lights.
Blinded by the darkness I reach for your love
your touch is what I need the most.

No one can really say
they never have lied
yet the truth remains silent in the dark.
When the bottle is dead and gone
so are my dreams
you crept away as I lost the light.

That is when I’ll see you for all that you are
for lovers should never tell lies.
When the morning light arrives
and the new day starts
your love is nowhere to be found.

Here I am again
lonely and tired
I wait for the darkness to come.
When everyone has left me
I turn off the lights
blinded I search for your love.

With the secrets you kept and the lies that you sold
its no wonder I fell for you hard.
Its only a dream when I wake up at dawn
and the day steals your darkness away.
That is when I see you for all that you are
for lovers should never tell lies.
