A Dark Romance

There’s shadows between us/It’s been that way from the start
Our love should be a mansion instead of this haunted heart
I can’t tell you my secrets if you won’t give me your time
You come and go like the wind leaving cobwebs in my mind

I’m in a dark romance
a mysterious trance
My heart doesn’t stand a ghost of a chance
in this dark Romance

I’m alone in a place I never thought I’d be comin’ from
I see lightning in the distance but the thunder never comes
Like an actor without direction I’m not playing my part too well
But I’ll stay for the final curtain `cause I’m under your spell

I’m in a dark romance
a mysterious trance
My heart doesn’t stand a ghost of a chance
in this dark Romance
