It started kinda fun
Just us, no, we never told anyone
Street lights at midnight
Temptation sweet and dangerous
Got caught in a fire
But you wouldn't let it burn brighter
Had me so damn convinced
We were better off keepin' this quiet (Quiet)

Love in the shadows
It's a losing battle
Someone's always left in the cold
If no one ever sees it
What's there to believe in?
Did it ever matter at all?
Knew just what to say
To make me feel safe
Thought I was your secrеt
Swore that you could keep it
Why'd you go and give me away?

Had it all plannеd, kept it hushed down
We were something they were never gonna know about
But look at me now, wondering how
I'm the one who's left out

Love in the shadows
It's a losing battle
Someone's always left in the cold
If no one ever sees it
What's there to believe in?
Did it ever matter at all?
Knew just what to say
To make me feel safe
Thought I was your secret
Swore that you could keep it
Why'd you go and give me away?

If you're so good at secrets
Why couldn't you keep it?
We had an agreement
But you went off the deep end
If you're so good at secrets
Why couldn't you keep it?
We had an agreement
But you went off the deep end

Love in the shadows
It's a losing battle
Someone's always left in the cold
If no one ever sees it
What's there to believe in?
Did it ever matter at all?
Knew just what to say
To make me feel safe
Thought I was your secret
Swore that you could keep it
Why'd you go and give me away?

If you're so good at secrets
Why couldn't you keep it?
We had an agreement
Why'd you have to give me away?
