Lyrics
In the depths of my desire, you're a flickering flame
A moment's pleasure, a lifetime of shame
I'm a ghost in your arms, a whisper in your ear
A selfish lover, leaving you to fear
Oh, the shadows we create, the love we can't define
A fragile truth, a heart that's blind
I'm lost in the shroud, of my own design
A prisoner of love, in this endless crime
But I'll take what I want, like a thief in the night
Leaving you to pick up the pieces of my light
I'll love you 'til it hurts, and then I'll be gone
A selfish lover, singing my sweet, sweet song
In the silence, I hear your voice
A whispered warning, a haunted choice
To follow my heart, or to flee from the pain
A selfish lover, forever in vain
Oh, the shadows we create, the love we can't define
A fragile truth, a heart that's blind
I'm lost in the shroud, of my own design
A prisoner of love, in this endless crime
But I'll take what I want, like a thief in the night
Leaving you to pick up the pieces of my light
I'll love you 'til it hurts, and then I'll be gone
A selfish lover, singing my sweet, sweet song
Maybe I'll find my way, through the darkness and the pain
Maybe I'll learn to love, without the shame
But until then, I'm trapped in this vicious cycle
A selfish lover, forever in denial
No, no, no, no
In the mirror's gaze, I see a stranger's eyes
A reflection of the love that I've denied
A heart that's frozen, a soul that's tired
A selfish lover, forever on fire
Oh, the shadows we create, the love we can't define
A fragile truth, a heart that's blind
I'm lost in the shroud, of my own design
A prisoner of love, in this endless crime
But I'll take what I want, like a thief in the night
Leaving you to pick up the pieces of my light
I'll love you 'til it hurts, and then I'll be gone
A selfish lover, singing my sweet, sweet song
And so I'll fade away, like a ghost in the night
As you sit and wonder, if I was ever real
A selfish lover, lost in the haze
Forever in the shadows, where love can't find its way
