Don't Leave Me In The Dark

"Don’t Leave Me in the Dark"
"Love ain’t just a feeling-it’s a place, a sanctuary. It’s where you hang your soul when the world’s too cruel to hold you. But when that love walks away, it feels like the whole damn world is crashing down. And all you’re left with is the shadows, begging for just one more chance to stay in the light."
(Verse 1)
Don’t turn away, don’t let this be goodbye,
I see the storm in your eyes, but I’m still willing to try.
Every word unspoken cuts me like a blade,
I gave you all I had, now I’m watching it fade.
Your silence is louder than thunder in the night,
And I’m reaching for you, trying to hold on tight.
But your hands are slipping, your warmth turns to cold,
And I’m drowning in the fear of the love you withhold.
(Chorus)
Don’t leave me in the dark, don’t tear my soul apart,
Don’t let this fire die, don’t break my aching heart.
I gave you my all, every breath, every spark,
Please don’t leave me here, don’t leave me in the dark.
(Verse 2)
I see the shadows dancing where your promises used to be,
The ghosts of your love are closing in on me.
I’d fight the devil himself if it’d keep you by my side,
But your love’s a storm now, and I’m caught in the tide.
The chains of your touch still linger on my skin,
Every memory burns like a sin within.
You said forever-was it just a cruel lie?
I’m begging, baby, don’t let us die.
(Chorus)
Don’t leave me in the dark, don’t tear my soul apart,
Don’t let this fire die, don’t break my aching heart.
I gave you my all, every breath, every spark,
Please don’t leave me here, don’t leave me in the dark.
(Bridge)
"I’d crawl through the ashes, bleed in the rain,
Give you every piece of me just to feel you again.
But if you walk away, there’s nothing left to save,
And I’ll bury my love in an unmarked grave."
(Outro)
"You say love fades, but I can still feel it burn,
Like a fire that won’t die, though it twists and it turns.
If this is the end, then take all I have,
But don’t leave me here, lost in the shadow of what we had.
Baby, don’t go.
Please… don’t leave me in the dark."
