In Our Own World
We don't have a band on our fingers
But no-one can doubt these feelings that linger
No, they can't say we don't feel what we feel
Not when I fell too far for this to feel real
I always said that these days bore me to hell
But I return home and you always have a tale to tell
And you remind me why I push through the days
It's because I can come home to a family in every way
They judge us but they will know that for this love I will fight
They say my love for you is foolish, that it's a sickening sight
But you and I both know they are wrong in what they believe
We can no longer live alone, these feelings won't leave
If I can hear your voice I can live like the blind
But I know you would never hurt me, you're too kind
So we don't listen when they say our love is not right
Because none can feel as safe as I do when I return to you each night
