Piano keys beneath the dim lamplight
Never guessed an ice boy changes my whole life
I hide my pain behind the piano keys
Scared of the world and all it wants to see
You fail your class, need someone to teach
We make a deal to pretend lovers each
Your hockey jersey’s stained with frozen ice
You wear a smile to cover inner strife
We act for crowds to fool our lonely heart
Never plan to fall apart apart
Keys beside the ice, my broken heart finds peace
From fake pretend to gentle warm release
Campus night we play our borrowed part
Your steady hands calm my chaotic heart
Keys beside the ice, your warmth dispels my vice
Your quiet patience heals my hidden slice
I never planned to fall into your eyes
You turn my lonely melody to life
When dark old memories steal my steady breath
You pull me close and chase away my death
I listen patiently to all his heavy load
The weight his father’s harsh words used to load
Teammates joke about our fake lover tale
No one sees my love behind the hidden veil
Two wounded souls bound by a temporary deal
Slowly true affection starts to heal
Keys beside the ice, my broken heart finds peace
From fake pretend to gentle warm release
Campus night we play our borrowed part
Your steady hands calm my chaotic heart
Keys beside the ice, your warmth dispels my vice
Your quiet patience heals my hidden slice
I never planned to fall into your eyes
You turn my lonely melody to life
Piano keys beneath the dim lamplight
Now ice rink boy stays with me day and night
