In the Dark

I never thought I'd see us
Stooping to these lows

I wonder what can free us
I don't want us to explode

I don't know our destination
Maybe I'll call mission control

I need illumination
It's all starting to take it's toll

I just wanna go backwards
See you again in the light of day when it was all okay

But we have to move forwards
And I'm not one to pray but I hope there's a way

Ooh it all vanished before my eyes
How could you think it was a lie
That I love you
And that my heart's still alive

Ooh this panic can eat me alive
It's like I'm drowning from the inside
But I see you
And I want you to thrive

I never meant to hurt you
I didn't wanna leave you there
Is it a matter of virtue
You know how much I care

No matters what's between us
I want us to be close
But can these words redeem us
Do you believe I love you most

That smile, our laughter
Happily ever after
The miles between us
They can't divide us
The fate that joined us
The building of trust
A life for the two of us
It's alright, there's a purpose

But we made some mistakes
I'm afraid of the stakes
I don't know what it takes
bring it all back, just erase
The pain, the hurting
The disasters, occuring

I'm on the high road now
I don't know how
But I'm still learning

Ooh it all vanished before my eyes
How could you think it was a lie
That I love you
And that my heart's still alive

Ooh this panic can eat me alive
It's like I'm drowning from the inside
But I see you
And I want you to thrive

I'm the one who took you by the hand
And left your broken where you stand
Can I live with my own choices in the dark
And you're the one who warned me of this fate
You wanted me to contemplate
If I could abandon my own vices in the dark
The love I have for you is oceans wide
Its killing me I can't deny
That I just left you in the worst shape of your life

Don't tell me this is how it ends
Don't tell me this is how it ends

I need to tell you
I need to tell you
I never knew you
I never knew you like I do now
Flush all the poison from the wound
A bit of it I must consume
I'll take the hit to let you back into my open heart
