A look across the room was all it took to spark the flame
On a dark and windy city night
It was only you present in my gaze
The winter mist enshrouded everything in sight
But my hand found home in yours
Our breaths blew vapours in the cold
From the start we were on fire
Bodies entwined, one common soul

They said our love was shallow
They said we were naive
Leave it to them what to believe
You know I'd follow you into the depths
Through seas harsh and rough
But to everybody else, we're just silly youth in love

We moved so fast, impatiently rushed in
Nameless faces passed us by
Cynical whispers echoed in the wind
But could not penetrate my mind
Their words had no control
Of what they don't understand
The seeds of doubt will never grow
Because you know, my heart always lay within your hands

They said our love was shallow
They said we were naive
Leave it to them what to believe
You know I'd follow you into the depths
Through seas harsh and rough
But to everybody else, we're just silly youth in love

But time it does pass and these cracks they do appear
Can you feel us falling my dear
Hurtful words designed to wound, empty apologies ensue
This wasn't how it was supposed to be
The fractures chip away until the walls fall down

My dear, we're going down
I tell her that I love her, but she says it's not enough
She says I need to move on and
You need to grow up
You're not a child anymore
Future dreams dissolve in ashes
Silhouettes of broken memories on the floor

They said our love was shallow
They said we'd never last
I guess they were right about us
Sometimes I feel you there
Your warmth, it lingers in my arms
Perhaps the time was wrong, for silly youth in love
