You Can’t Hide a Light With the Dark
Your words come in the dark
Won't you call me?
I'll do anything
The lights on in your backroom
Are you with him?
Are you with him?
The lights off and it's darkness
You're so heartless
You're so heartless
The way you fall apart
I still adore it
You can't hide a light with the dark
The lights off in your bedroom
Are you sleeping?
Are you with him?
Are you waiting?
Is he coming?
You're so heartless, but I love it
I've seen you in his car at the far end of the streets
Or in the corner of some bar or in the pictures that I keep
And all I wanted was to say
That I'm just sorry that I didn't tell you yesterday
That you can't go hiding lights with just the darkness, you know
No you can't go hiding lights with the dark
You can't go hiding lights with just the darkness though
You can't hide the light with the dark
