Lyrics

[Verse 1] We learn to stand in the shadows Watch the way the wind blows Thinking no one knows we're one of a kind Shy glances at the neighboring team Romance is a dangerous dream Never knowing if they'll laugh or scream Living on a fault line Will you, won't you be mine? Hoping it'll change in time [Chorus] We can't hold hands When there's sunlight in the park We just hold hands after dark And people say we choose this way To set ourselves apart I say, "You don't know my heart You don't know my heart" [Verse 2] Used to run, I used to hide Heard a joke and let it slide Easier to laugh than lie, waiting on discovery Tried to fit, I tried to blend We learn young to pretend 'Cause if they knew, the world would end Frightened of my family Where is everyone like me? When will I be free [Chorus] We can't hold hands When there's sunlight in the park We just hold hands after dark And people say we choose this way To set ourselves apart I say, "You don't know my heart You don't know my heart" [Bridge] Everybody needs a love of their own I'm no different than the rest Everyone deserves a happy home And that's what we do best Why do they have to make it a test? [Chorus] We can't hold hands When there's sunlight in the park We just hold hands after dark And people say we choose this way To set ourselves apart I say, "You don't know my heart You don't know my heart" [Outro (Fade)] We can't hold hands When there's sunlight in the park...
