about

What happens when the one you love is a reflection of yourself? If we became too close, would we simply become the same person?

lyrics

It’s a forbidden love
That fits just like a glove
A passionate dance
That won’t stand a chance
Unless we keep
Our distance

Don’t look at me so
We could go with the flow
Love’s never wrong
Says the maddening throng
But they don’t know
Our dilemma

Because we are
One and the same
Two moths to a flame
Both sides of the coin
But we’ll never join
Together as one
Where naught can be done
A singular now
No matter how
You and I cannot merge

They could run us from town
Or laugh like a clown
These slings we’d endure
Grow ever more pure
Until nothing else
Could stop us

But a dangerous heart
Might keep us apart
The soul breaking pain
When love is the bane
And the only cure
Is to hold back

Because we are
One and the same
Two moths to a flame
Both sides of the coin
But we’ll never join
Together as one
Where naught can be done
A singular now
No matter how
You and I cannot merge

Oh the cruelty
That made you and me
We could cross the hall
And scream our love to all
But that love can destroy
The lovers

Because we are
One and the same
Two moths to a flame
Both sides of the coin
But we’ll never join
Together as one
Where naught can be done
A singular now
No matter how
You and I cannot merge

So we walk a tight rope
Clinging to hope
Of a beautiful day
When we can say
That you and I
Are now free
