The Shadow of Love

So many times I have said
I`m not the marrying type
These words fill my head
Until I almost believe them

My fear of being used shows
Every time I`m used again
My disbelief in true love grows
And a part of me dies

Then you came into my life
And I wondered if I could trust
Through a history of lies and strife
That you are different from the rest

I just don`t know anymore
If I have the strength
For one more time to open that door
And allow the chance to be hurt

Seems like all men ever wanted was my body
While my soul lays in ruin
They would fill me with lies and infidelity
They took but never gave

Tell me you`ll let the sun in
Show me that you are different
Let me believe that you won`t keep me
Hidden
In the shadow of love
