Love in the shadow

*Title:* "Love in the Shadows"

*Chorus:*

She's got a hold on my heart, and I can't break away

Her parents keep us apart, but my love's here to stay

I won't give up, no, I won't give in

Our love will rise, and we'll find our way to begin

*Verse 1:*

I see the way she smiles, and I can't help but stare

 Her parents always watching, like they're waiting for me to fail

They think I'm not good enough, but I'll prove them wrong

I'll show them love can conquer, and our hearts will be strong

*Verse 2:*

We sneak around in secret, stolen moments we share

But the weight of their disapproval, it's always lurking there

I know we're not doing anything wrong, but they make it feel like a crime

And our love is worth fighting for, and I won't give up the fight

*Verse 3:*

Every time she walks by, I'm lost for words

Can't even say hi, my heart's in a blur

She's got a hold on me, like a sweet surprise

I try to play it cool, but my eyes give it away, gotta open my eyes

*Verse 4:*

I know we're not alone in this fight

Our love's a beacon in the dark of night

We'll rise above the noise and find the light

AND our love will shine, and everything's alright

*Chorus:*

She's got a hold on my heart, and I can't break away

Her parents keep us apart, but my love's here to stay

I won't give up, no, I won't give in

Our love will rise, and we'll find our way to begin
