It's a game that we play
And we play it nearly every day
It leads us both down the path of tears

We ask if it's true and it makes us think of someone new
But in the end we're meant to be

Darling would you be my second shadow


The roles that we play
Make us think this is a huge mistake
So why do we play the roles at all?

When we act as we are
Our love becomes an opened heart
And we never ever want to leave that place

Darling would you be my second shadow

And I doubt you'd ever leave
I would never leave you
Why even question this love?
If it something that's oh so true

Darling would you be my second shadow
