Where It Shouldn’t Have Been

The room is still, the lights are low

I turn to him, but my heart won’t go

His arms are kind, his love is pure

But another man made me soar

Years of hiding in the dark

A stolen flame, a secret spark

He gave me fire, he gave me sin

He made me feel alive again

A secret shame I live with now

An unrepairable broken vow

I went too far, I crossed the line

Gone and left my heart behind

He doesn’t know the woman he sleeps beside

Is doing the right thing, but dying inside

I gave it up because it was a sin

But my heart’s still where it shouldn’t have been

My husband smiles, the faithful kind

He’ll never see what’s in my mind

The other made sin a paradise

Now I sleep in a bed of lies

I close my eyes and play my role

I hold back tears and pretend I’m whole

He doesn’t know the woman he sleeps beside

Is doing the right thing, but dying inside

I gave it up because it was a sin

But my heart’s still where it shouldn’t have been

I wear one’s ring and bear his name

I only have myself to blame

For an ache that cuts too deep

For loving a man I couldn’t keep

He’ll never know the tears I hide

I did the right thing... but part of me died

I gave it up because it was a sin

But my heart’s still where it shouldn’t have been

The room is still, the lights are dim

I can’t sleep because he’s not him
