Daylight pierces through a veil of curtains
You’re fast asleep still dreaming in my arms
I’m so frightened yet I’ve never been so certain
This fleeting night of seeming chance
Revived an ailing heart
Throughout my years I’ve played the fool
Consumed by hate my anger ruled
Burning bridges, breaking hearts along the way
The hope I thought had long since died
Is born anew in starlit eyes
You’re teaching me to trust love once again
Strangers lying in a bed of questions
So soon have grown as one before the dawn
What feeling is this keeping me from sleep?
This sudden birth of sweet romance
Heals like a lover’s song
Throughout my years I’ve played the fool
Consumed by hate my anger ruled
Burning bridges, breaking hearts along the way
Your poison eyes stare through my soul
You’re fast asleep still dreaming in my arms
I’m so frightened yet I’ve never been so certain
This fleeting night of seeming chance
Revived an ailing heart
Throughout my years I’ve played the fool
Consumed by hate my anger ruled
Burning bridges, breaking hearts along the way
The hope I thought had long since died
Is born anew in starlit eyes
You’re teaching me to trust love once again
Strangers lying in a bed of questions
So soon have grown as one before the dawn
What feeling is this keeping me from sleep?
This sudden birth of sweet romance
Heals like a lover’s song
Throughout my years I’ve played the fool
Consumed by hate my anger ruled
Burning bridges, breaking hearts along the way
Your poison eyes stare through my soul
To thaw this heart of icy stone
You’re teaching me to live life once again
