I feel better in the dark. I say things, then, that I wasn’t sure of before I said it In the light, I tell them lies But when I slip away into her room at night, I only speak the truth We met by accident She didn’t make me wish for          innocence She whispered to me that things were better in between   And she let me      She begged me Fire beckons me, but I’m in love with another           warmth. She’s too slick, but I love the sound of        her laughter,                 her abandon. She’s ready to hurt, but I love her         protection,                  her affection. She offers me the light,          and I love her darkness, too. I want all of her, if she’ll let me see I’ll stay, anyway Until she gets sick of me

In the Dark
I feel better in the dark. I say things, then, that I wasn’t sure of before I said it In the light, I tell them lies But when I slip away into her room at night, I only speak the truth We met by accident She didn’t make me wish for          innocence She whispered to me that things were better in between   And she let me      She begged me Fire beckons me, but I’m in love with another           warmth. She’s too slick, but I love the sound of        her laughter,                 her abandon. She’s ready to hurt, but I love her         protection,                  her affection. She offers me the light,          and I love her darkness, too. I want all of her, if she’ll let me see I’ll stay, anyway Until she gets sick of me
