[Verse]
I'm running away from a feeling
Hiding my face in the sand
I'm scared to love and lose again
I don't know if I can
[Verse]
I don't need the night to remind me
Where the lonely people go
I try running away from love
But my heart keeps telling me, "No"
[Chorus]
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
Too many people
Standing in the shadow
Standing in the shadow of love
[Verse]
I've been living so long in the darkness
I know the cold embrace of the night
When morning comes I close my eyes
'Cause I'm blinded with the light
[Verse]
Taking a chance on a feeling
Is like waiting for a flower to grow
So I stand at the crossroad, baby
Wondering which way to go
[Chorus]
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
Too many people
Are standing in the shadow
Standing in the shadow of love
[Verse]
I'm running away from a feeling
Hiding my face in the sand
I'm scared to love and lose again
I don't know if I can
[Verse]
I don't need the night to remind me
Where the lonely people go
I try running away from love
But my heart keeps telling me, "No, no"
[Chorus]
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
Too many people
Standing in the shadow
Standing in the shadow
[Chorus]
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
[Chorus]
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
[Outro]
Too many people
