No longer in the shadow

Lyrics

Verse 1 I see you smile when no one’s around, Your gentle touch, a love never found. But when the daylight shines, you turn away, I’m just a shadow you can’t let stay. Pre-Chorus How long must I hide behind closed doors, Pretending my heart beats less, not more? I’m tired of whispers no one hears, I want a love without the fear. Chorus Take my hand, don’t let it go, Let the whole wide world finally know. I’m not a secret you must keep, I’m a promise strong, a dream so deep. No more hiding, no disguise, Let me shine in your honest eyes. I want to love you in the light, Not just in the shadows of the night. Verse 2 I’ve given you all the truth in my soul, But silence has taken its heavy toll. Every kiss we steal, every tear we fight, I ache for freedom, I ache for right. Pre-Chorus I don’t want a half of you, I need it all, Stand beside me, proud and tall. If love is real, it shouldn’t be a crime, I want forever, not borrowed time. Chorus Take my hand, don’t let it go, Let the whole wide world finally know. I’m not a secret you must keep, I’m a promise strong, a dream so deep. No more hiding, no disguise, Let me shine in your honest eyes. I want to love you in the light, Not just in the shadows of the night. Bridge I’d rather face the storm, than live a lie, I’d rather break than never try. So tell me now, will you set me free? Or keep me locked in secrecy? Final Chorus (softer to powerful) Take my hand, don’t let it go, Let the whole wide world finally know. I’m not a secret you must keep, I’m a love that’s real, a heart that beats. No more hiding, no disguise, Let me shine in your honest eyes. I want a love that stands so true, In the light, with me and you. ⸻
