My Darkness

I gave up the nights for you

I gave up all the brights for you

But I feel like something's gone astray

I gave up the night life for you, mhmm

I was wondering past my old watering hole

I walked past a lady I used to know

I heard her say

"Don't tell me to live that way

It's my life

And I'll do it when I want to"

Well I won't give up my darkness

The only friend that's always true

I need that edge to keep me sane

It's the same thing that terrifies you

It's the same thing that terrifies you

I turn my back by pickin' my guitar

Wrote a song that was never quite in tune

Well I wrote this song 'bout my old friend Jay

Who drank himself away too soon

Well I won't give up my darkness

I won't let it shine too soon

I'll dangle legs right over the edge

And I know that it terrifies you

Well I won't give up my darkness

The only friend that's always true

I need that edge to keep me sane

It's the same thing that terrifies you

It's the same thing that terrifies you

It's the same thing that terrifies you
