Loved Me in Secret

We lived in the quiet between the words

A love the daylight never heard

Your hand would linger then let go

Like a candle flame beneath the snow

I gave you every piece of me

You hid your heart so carefully

Behind closed doors, behind your eyes

Were all the truths you couldn't assign

Say, did you love me in secret?

Like I loved you true?

Did your lonely nights still lead you back to me too?

Ooh, when the room goes still

And you're alone with your pain

Do you hear my name

Like a hymn in the rain?

Loved me in secret

And left me in tears

A love like ours can last

For years

We borrowed time from stolen hours

Kept our forever inside flowers

I wore your silence like a ring and learned how hard

Softly sings

Did you love me in secret

Like I loved you true?

Did your lonely nights

Still lead you back to me too?

When the room goes still

And you're alone with your pain

Do you hear my name?

Like a hymn in the rain

Loved me in secret, then left me in tears

A love like ours can last for years

If you still carry my shadow within

If my ghost still rests under your skin

Then tell me the truth, even now, even then

Was I your forever hidden identity?

Did you love me in secret?

Like I was your truth?

I was never the same

Once I lost you

When the room goes still

And you're alone with your pain

Do you hear my name

Like a hymn in the rain?

Loved me in secret

And I loved you clear

But love in the dark still disappeared
