Shadowed Love Lyrics — R.J. Sloane

Shadowed Love is an outlaw country duet about two people who can't stop wanting each other — and can't escape what stands between them. He's spent years hunting the man who murdered his parents. She's spent her whole life paying for sins she didn't commit. They're standing on opposite sides of the same wound. He sees a future he wants and can't have. She's already chosen him.

VERSE 1
Wind and fire and dust
I gave up home
A life
All for a vow on their graves
Makes me sick
Years thirsting for this
Want him ended for what he did
Worst of it is
He's your daddy

CHORUS
Heart half gone
Shining eyes
Full lips
Beauty that leaves me tongue tied
When I look at you, I see
See a future I want
And can't have
You're the daughter
Of my mortal enemy

Can't change that
I'm not him
And you know it
His shadow swallows everything good
But I choose you

VERSE 2
Snubbed, ignored, tossed aside
Scraps for food
Wolves at the door he invited in
Darkness overtook me
I know his brand of evil
All too well
Barely survived

I ain't asking you to forgive him
I'm asking you to see me

CHORUS
Heart half gone
Shining eyes
Full lips
Beauty that leaves me tongue tied
When I look at you, I see
See a future I want
And can't have
You're the daughter
Of my mortal enemy

Can't change that
I'm not him
And you know it
His shadow swallows everything good
But I choose you

BRIDGE
Loving you feels
Like digging up their graves
Broken oath
Or broken heart
Vengeance or love

FINAL CHORUS
Heart half gone
Shining eyes
Full lips
Beauty that leaves me tongue tied
When I look at you, I see
See a future I want
And can't have
You're the daughter
Of my mortal enemy

Can't change that
I'm not him
And you know it
His shadow swallows everything good
But I choose you

OUTRO
I want to
I want to
