Lyric

On a quiet night, snow gently blankets the city.
Two figures walk hand in hand, hats pulled low to avoid the gaze of others.
Each touch of their hands deepens the ache,
and the footprints they leave behind on the white sidewalk
may seem sinful to those who pass by.
She carries a guilt he doesn't know,
enduring the pain in her chest as she lives each day.
He hides a love for someone else
in the corner of his heart she's never seen.
It's not loneliness.
It's not a place to escape.
It's another kind of love
one they reach for again and again, even as it wounds them.
They've come to know the parts of each other
that were never meant to be revealed.
And in the pain of that truth,
they wander through two incomparable loves,
lost and unsure.
Even knowing the cost of continuing this path,
even knowing their hearts should not waver
they do.
And in that fragile space between right and wrong,
they keep wandering.
