The Darkness Won't Let in the Light

The saddest feeling that I've ever had
it's the deepest thing that's stuck in my crawl
it's the darkest secret within me and there it dwells
it's what bubbles up from way below
just...just when i'm feeling good

You see...all of my life
happiness has just been a myth
sure there's been those fleeting minutes
a glimmer of hope shinning between the clouds

But i think it's always been my destiny
somehow i'm the one picked out to suffer indignity
the one to take in every one and all their sin
but i didn't chose this side of this

The darkness won't let in the light
keeps smothering me with it kindness
somehow i can take on the comfort

Best to not know anything different
best not to know what love is
best to to keep my head down low
best to try and forget it all

I had a dream of magic butterflies
they would cover me and lift me to the sky
they would take to a land so far away
where people laughed and never cried

She said she would never leave
she said we would be together forever
but then one day i caught her in a lie
she just stood there laughing
while deep down inside i died

You see...all of my life
happiness has just been a myth
sure there's been those fleeting minutes
a glimmer of hope shinning between the clouds

Best to not know anything different
best not to know what love is
best to to keep my head down low
best to try and forget it all

I think it's always been my destiny
somehow i'm always the one
to be picked out to suffer indignity

The darkness won't let in the light
keeps smothering me with it kindness
somehow i can take on the comfort

Why am i the one
to take in every one and all their sin
you know i didn't chose this side of this

No..no..baby
you know i didn't chose this side of this
this side of this...this side of this

The darkness won't let in the light
the darkness won't let in the light

Best not to know what love is
best not to know what love is

She just stood there laughing
while deep down inside i died

Best not to know what love is
best not to know what love is

The darkness won't let in the light
the darkness won't let in the light
the darkness won't let in the light
the darkness won't let in the light !

You've Tuned Me Out

Where's your mind
where's your mind

Because you're not here
because you're not here

Even though you're right here by my side

You're eyes to the sky
you're eyes to the sky

You've must of tuned me out
I tug and tug and pull with no response

Because you're not hearing my words

I thought I was strong enough for the both of us
holding my ground trying to carry the weight

But I was wrong knowing what I know now
it was just me trying to keep what we had

Because you've already let me go

So where's your mind
where's your mind

Because you're not here
even though you're right here by my side

You're eyes to the sky
you're eyes to the sky

Guess You've must of tuned me out
I tug and tug and pull with no response

Because you're not hearing my words

Now we just go through all the motions
as we just carrying on day by day

I'm not sure which one hurts the most
is it my heart or my soul
that's constantly crying my nights away

But I don't want to think of my emotions
so I'll just have to wait and see
until after the day when you walk away

And it's everything for me to keep my composure
just so that I can show you that i'll be okay

But you've already let me go

So where's your mind
where's your mind

Because you're not here
even though you're right here by my side

You're eyes to the sky
you're eyes to the sky

You've must of already tuned me out
I tug and tug and pull with no response

Because... you're not hearing my words
