There is a reason that I always turn my face away
Every time I realize you're looking my way
It takes everything inside of me not to make it known
Not to let it out, not to let it show
Like a bottle of cheap champagne
Shake it up and make it rain
Hidden behind the curtain suspended from above
I hide in darkness with my love
How can I be certain you'll take me for what I am?
I'm nothin' but a phantom, I am a shadow held for ransom in the dark
♪
Through waves of flowing crimson I can just see your face
Another standing ovation, a stellar showcase
From the bottom of my heart, something bright starts to glow
But I find the wick and douse it quick and push it down below
Like an alter-boy gone bad
Snuffing all the candles while slowly going mad
Hidden behind the curtain suspended from above
I hide in darkness with my love
How can I be certain you'll take me for what I am?
I'm nothin' but a phantom, I am a shadow held for ransom in the dark
If only I could speak your name
Then maybe we could fit inside the frame
And live forever untouched
Beneath the glass and the dust
Hidden behind the curtain, suspended from above
I hide in darkness with my love
How can I be certain you'll take me for what I am?
I'm nothin' but a phantom, I am a shadow held for ransom in the dark
Hidden behind the curtain, suspended from above
I hide in darkness with my love
How can I be certain you'll take me for what I am?
I'm nothin' but a phantom, I am a shadow held for ransom in the dark
