Don't You Dare: Theme Song from the Audiobook, Don't You Dare by Gayla Turner
Music and Lyrics by Johnny Schaefer
I cannot believe I found you
In a world of walls and snares
With all the rules that we've been bound to
We're bound to break beyond repair
In the stillness of a photo
In the ink upon a page
We can linger 'til love grows to
Blossom in a kinder age

Don't you dare
Let them see
I'm aware
What you're asking of me
Don't you dare
Come too close
Go too far
From this place
that no threatening eye knows
The shutter clicks honestly
And captures love that cannot breathe

How can true love be forbidden?
Why does anybody care
To enforce the cruel laws written
Against those who love and dare
To embrace what their hearts show them,
To defy a senseless creed,
Begging those who love and know them
To allow the love they need?

Don't you dare
Let them see
I'm aware
What you're asking of me
Don't you dare
Come too close
Go too far
From this place
that no threatening eye knows
The shutter clicks honestly
And captures love that cannot breathe

Don't you dare turn away
Don't you dare act so free
I know you can't dare to stay
Please don’t ever forget about me

Don't you dare
Let them see
I'm aware
What you're asking of me
Don't you dare
Come too close
Go too far
From this place
that no threatening eye knows
The shutter clicks honestly
And captures love that cannot breathe

Maybe someday it might breathe
