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
