Here In the Dark
Here in the dark
Verse 1
You're always there in my darkest hour,
A star that lights my way
And in the morning after I awake
I see that you're still here
Pre-chorus
I just wanted you to know
that you're everything to me
Everything to me
Chorus
And here in the dark,
that's where you shine so bright
Yeah here in the dark,
You illuminate my night
Verse 2
I face the laughter of this jeering brood,
They hope it bothers me
Incessant critics of the cruelest kind
Sends me into a somber mood
Pre-chorus
Oh how their laughter makes them
look insane
I wish they'd fade away
wish they'd fade away
Verse 3
I raise my eyes to a blackened sky
there's no light to lead the way
What has happened to my northern star?
Please don't ever go away
Chorus
And here in the dark
that's where you shine so bright
Yeah here in the dark
You illuminate my life
Verse 4
It's two days now since you've gone away
And everything is dark
I always thought that you'd always stay
The emptiness is stark
Pre-chorus
I thought that you understood
that you're everything to me
everything to me
Chorus 2
Now here in the dark
there's no one shining bright
Yeah now here in the dark
Your light no longer shines
Your light no longer shines...
Your light no longer shines...
