[Verse 1]
Take your eyes off of me so I can leave
I'm far too ashamed to do it with you watching me
This is never ending; we have been here before
But I can't stay this time cause I don't love you anymore
Please, stay where you are; don't come any closer
Don't try to change my mind; I'm being cruel to be kind

[Chorus]
I can't love you in the dark
It feels like we're oceans apart
There's so much space between us
Maybe we're already defeated
Everything changed me

[Verse 2]
You have given me something that I can't live without
You must not underestimate that when you are in doubt
But I don't want to carry on like everything is fine
The longer we ignore it, all the more that we will fight
Please don't fall apart, I can't face your breaking heart
I'm trying to be brave; stop asking me to stay

[Chorus]
I can't love you in the dark
It feels like we're oceans apart
There's so much space between us
Maybe we're already defeated
Everything changed me
[Bridge]
We're not the only ones
I don't regret a thing
Everyone that says you know I'll always be
It is the world to me
That you are in my life
But I want to live and not just survive

[Chorus]
That's why I can't love you in the dark
It feels like we're oceans apart
There's so much space between us
Maybe we're already defeated
Everything changed me
And I don't think you can save me
