Loving In The Dark

Verse

I waited through years just to see his face,

Dreaming of love in a lonely place.

But his heart belonged to another flame,

Even near me, he whispered her name.

Pre-chorus

I stood in silence, my voice held back,

A ghost in the corner, watching the cracks.

Chorus

Foolish heart, loving in the dark,

Holding my breath, afraid to spark.

Standing so close yet feeling miles away,

Loving in silence, day after day.

Verse

Seasons kept turning, time passed me by,

I hid my feelings, afraid to try.

Then one night the sky broke open with rain,

He lost his love, his soul in pain.

Pre-chorus

I touched his hand, spoke soft and low,

Hiding the words he could never know.

Chorus

Foolish heart, loving in the dark,

Holding my breath, afraid to spark.

Standing so close yet feeling miles away,

Loving in silence, day after day.

Bridge

I told him gently, “Someone will find you,

A heart that will stay, a love that’s true.”

But I swallowed the truth burning on my tongue,

The “I am here” that could never be sung.

Chorus

Foolish heart, loving in the dark,

Holding my breath, afraid to spark.

Standing so close yet feeling miles away,

Loving in silence, day after day.

Outro

Rain on the pavement, night in my eyes,

My love stays hidden beneath dark skies.

He walks away but my heart still knows,

Somewhere inside, our quiet glow.
