I've been standing in the shadows of love Hiding from the sun up above Wondering if my heart Would ever feel the spark And say - I've finally had enough I've been standing in the shadows of love I built a wall of the stones I'd swallowed Stones of fear and pride I built it tall so no one could follow And bother me inside I lived my life in that wall's shade I hid behind the games I played But now it's time to make my getaway Chorus I used to have such a mean reputation I was cold and cruel When I walked into a new situation I knew just what to do I thought this world was full of fools Except for me, who could play it cool I played cold, I almost froze Until I met you Chorus
