In the silence of the night, I feel your shadow linger A love so deep, it's a flame, burns at the touch I'm drawn to you, a moth to a flame so bright But every time I get too close, it's my wings that feel the bite 'Cause I love you more than the stars love the night But loving you, darling, it's like holding a rose tight You pain me, yet I'm drawn to your flame The thorns they prick, the blood it flows But I can't let go, it's the love I chose You're the storm in my calm, the tear in my eye The heartache in my laugh, the truth in my lie I'm lost in a love that's a beautiful curse It lifts me so high, then drops me with a burst 'Cause I love you more than the stars love the night But loving you, darling, it's like holding a rose tight You pain me, yet I'm drawn to your flame The thorns they prick, the blood it flows But I can't let go, it's the love I chose 'Cause I love you more than the stars love the night But loving you, darling, it's like holding a rose tight You pain me, yet I'm drawn to your flame The thorns they prick, the blood it flows But I can't let go, it's the love I chose They say love shouldn't hurt, shouldn't cause me this pain But I'm addicted to the fire, to the sweet refrain It's a dangerous dance, a risk I take For a love so strong, it's worth the ache 'Cause I love you more than the stars love the night But loving you, darling, it's like holding a rose tight The thorns they prick, the blood it flows But I can't let go, it's the love I chose 'Cause I love you more than the stars love the night But loving you, darling, it's like holding a rose tight The thorns they prick, the blood it flows But I can't let go, it's the love I chose So here I stand, with my heart in your hands Loving you, even if it's not what life demands It's a love so fierce, pain me You pain me, pain me
