I leave my keys up on the shelf
Tonight I'm saving you from yourself
No heavy words, no diamond ring
Just the comfort that a stranger brings

We know the rules, we drew the line
I am not yours and you're not mine
Just a whisper in the dark
Before the morning kills the spark

Don't ask me where I go at dawn
By the time you wake, I'll be gone
Let's drink the wine and kill the pain
And wash it down with midnight rain

We're just shadows in the sheets, my dear
Making all our demons disappear
Don't say you love me, don't say a word
Let the silence be the sweetest song we heard
Yeah, just shadows in the sheets

We know the rules, we drew the line
I am not yours and you're not mine
Just a whisper in the dark
Before the morning kills the spark

We're just shadows in the sheets, my dear
Making all our demons disappear
Don't say you love me, don't say a word
Let the silence be the sweetest song we heard (don't you say it, baby)
Yeah, just shadows in the sheets

Just for tonight
Don't say you love me
I'll be gone, shadows in the sheets
Yeah
