You want me to say I love you
But I can’t even though it’s true
It’s not about being a bride and groom
Or a home to share the same room

It’s not a question of my feelings
Or the words you’ve been needing
It’s not about what I know is real
Or whether it is my heart you will steal

It’s about the moon and the sun  
How we are apart but live as one
It’s how the sun sees its own reflection
And how the moon starves for attention

Yes, everything is true
But it is on earth where love lives in pain
And though the lights of the sky are who we are
It is in quiet solitude where hope will remain

You want me to say I love you
But you know it’s already true
It’s not about until death do us part
Or wondering if you are in my heart

It’s not wondering about if or when
Or a foolish game of private pretend
It’s not about what we know is real
Or whether I share what you feel

It’s about the moon and the sun  
How we are apart but live as one
It’s how the sun warms your soul
And how the moon regrets long ago

Yes, everything is true
But it is on earth where love lives in sin
And though the lights of the sky are who we are
It is in quiet solitude where hope begins again
