You know I never really see who you are 
You know I never really can understand 
Just when I think that you’ve gone 
I feel you take a hold of my hand 
You’re like the wind that blows in front of a storm 
The electricity explodes in the night 
Now it’s already too late 
To decide if it’s wrong or it’s right 
This obsession is too strong to fight
 
Somewhere there must be 
A place where two heartbeats can touch 
Where lovers can meet in the daylight 
And find it’s enough 
So do I really need the shadows you hide in? 
This passion that lives in the dark 
Show me your heart
 
I never hear about the pain in your past 
You never talk about the places you’ve been 
Each time you say that you love me 
I find you are lying again 
And still you know you rule my dreams with your charm 
You still put all those silver clouds in my eyes 
Make me believe you’re a blessing 
When you are a curse in disguise 
An obsession that can’t be denied

Somewhere there must be a place where two heartbeats can touch
Where lovers can meet in the daylight and find it’s enough 
So do I really need the shadows you hide 
In this passion that lives in the dark
Show me your heart
