Lyrics
These shadows upon my heart
They fade
But still, nothing changes
The seeds that we planted
Need the rain
Will they never flower?
When I look behind me, you?ll be gone
It?s gonna be hard to see your face
It?s gonna be hard to turn away when
I?d made up my mind to see this through
That first kiss in the dark
How could we know what was coming
All the love that we gave was touched and shattered
And torn from our hands
The pages of our fairy tale
Were torn out before we reached the end
The pleasures of autumn turn to rain
And the leaves are all changing
What once was our freedom
Now feels like chains
That bind us in sorrow
And when I look beside me, you are gone
I wanted to fill the empty space
But you will let nothing take its place
I wanted to see this to the end
That first kiss in the dark
We couldn?t see what was coming
All the love that we gave was touched and shattered
And torn from our hands
The pages of our fairy tale
Were torn out before we reached the end
