Love lives in the dark, in all the shadows
You open up your heart, and then you close

Doubt stains like wine
On the walls of your suspicious mind

Sifting through the layers
Of the memories you stashed away
Catch up with all the prayers
Then you turn the page

Then your life fits in a capsule you take
When you swallow it leaves a bitter taste

Love lives in the dark where it lingers
Perhaps forever someone lights a spark
Then you run for cover

Then you tell your lover "let's just be friends"
And that's how the story sometimes ends
