Dark

The sunlight is my shield
It gives me hope to hold
I can talk to you and enjoy myself
Without feeling the hole
But as the sun fades from my view
My thoughts tangle around you
And I can’t seem to see
What else is of worth to me
In the darkness of night
My heart breaks

Don’t go. Don’t leave me behind!
I’ll change myself if you’ll change your mind!
I can’t explain what I feel,
But right now, it’s real.
Then the sun shows its face
And I’m back in my place
And the world is alright, again.

The pillow holds my tears
The blankets hide my pain
As I scratch at sheets in misery
Cotton fibers call your name
If I close my eyes and slumber
I will stop the endless wonder
With the dawn approaching nearer
I can see myself much clearer
In the brightness of day
My heart heals.

Don’t go. Don’t leave me behind!
I’ll change myself if you’ll change your mind!
I can’t explain what I feel,
But right now, it’s real.
Then the sun shows its face
And I’m put back in my place
And the world is alright, again.

Someday I’ll conquer the night
And no matter when, things will be right
If I didn’t still love you
I would know what to do.

But some evening I’ll lie in my bed
And not wonder if I am dead
I’ll be happy no matter the sun.
Because I’ll know then that you’re not the one.

Don’t go. Don’t leave me behind!
I’ll change myself if you’ll change your mind!
I can’t explain what I feel,
But right now, it’s real
Then the sun shows its face
And I’m put back in my place
And the world is alright, again.
