[Verse 1]
I'm not ready, I'm not ready for the black night
Slow and steady, I've been dragging out our goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
When you open up to me, I fall down on my knees
When you open up I know it's holy

[Chorus]
You would say, you wanna give up on it
And all the ways you light my candle
And I would say, I wanna give up on it
But in the dark I cannot handle
No you, no you
Cannot handle
No you, no you

[Verse 2]
Independence seems like such a sweet reward
Across the ocean, I feel like a free bird

[Pre-Chorus]
When you finally come to me, I fall down on my knees
When you open up I know it's holy

[Chorus]
You would say, you wanna give up on it
And all the ways you light my candle
And I would say, I wanna give up on it
But in the dark I cannot handle
No you, no you
Cannot handle
No you, no you
[Bridge]
And what you want
Well, I want for you
And what you need
I want, I want, I want it for you
And what I want
Well, you want for me too
But it pulls us both in wrong dirеctions
Will I ever learn to lovе you alright?

[Chorus]
You would say, you wanna give up on it
And all the ways you light my candle
And I would say, I wanna give up on it
But in the dark I cannot handle
No you, no you
I cannot handle
No you, no you
I cannot handle
