In the shadows.
In the darkness.
I stand in the corner,
All alone.
You don't see me.
You don't even know.
How will we be?
How can I see?
How does this world spin with me?
It dances,
Merily.
How can I stand,
How can I breath?
You dance with her.
Your smile is warm.
Your look when you glance at me,
makes me blush.
When your rush,
Of laughter with her follows.
I run out of the room,
Tears enjoying their freedom.
Until I hear a soft voice,
My heart dropped very soon.
When I am leading,
he will take my hand.
When I am all alone,
He will lead me,
To lead once again.
For his tear-soaked shirt,
Resembles his love,
My pride,
Our future,
Like a dove.
Never any time to say goodbye.
Always a good time to cry.
Love the way,
He loves me.
Then we marry,
Happily.
Joyful songs with play,
We'll sing.
During Christmas,
We'll go caroling.
In our last moments,
his hand in mine,
We will recognize our love,
So divine.
You didn't love her.
You only laughed because,
It was so funny,
How I thought I wasn't loved.
Always standing,
In that dark, dreary place.
My breath always taking a different pace.
You always watched me,
But too afraid to talk.
That girl you danced with,
Told you what to do,
For it was the future she saw.
We close up the memories,
We go in peace.
To the heavens,
We are deceased.
So remember this lesson,
For true love with follow.
No more standing in the shadows.
No more pride you will swallow.
Don't be scared.
Your never alone.
You'll always be loved.
Don't hurt yourself,
Though.
Go find 'the one'.
