the darkness deep inside

Theres a darkness deep inside of me

it keeps me from getting close

I want what you want

a love so real

but theres a darkness deep inside

i tell you that i love you

and i know it to be true

but theres a darkness deep inside

that wont let it be true

i try to tell myself

that it will be alright

but somewhere deep inside

theres a darkness i cannot hide

i grit my teeth and try

to hold onto what i love

but it fades fast

like water in your hand

your the love that i need

that might shine through the darkness

an angelic prescence shining bright

that blinds the darkness

from my sight

it seems so great it might just last

as i watch the darkness fading fast

each time i touch you it fades some more

and before i know it

you destroy the darkness deep inside
