Shaking heart

The shadows dance across the wall
The candle flickers, dim light falls
Consumed by darkness, filled with light
My instincts jump to fight or flight

A shaking voice and tingling heart
I'm not sure even where to start
The fact that you are killing me
When every it's her I see

In your arms I feel at home
But I am simply the unknown
My thoughts of you have gone unheard
But I'm not yours, I've been assured

I know that you aren't mine to hold
She's yours and mine we've each been told
The ones I love but can't attain
You love us equally the same

A shaking voice and tingling heart
I'm not sure even where to start
That fact that you are killing me
When every time it's her I see
