Love in the Dark Lyrics

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

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
Ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah everything changed me

You have given me something that I can't live without
You mustn't 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

I can't love you in the dark
It feels like we're oceans apart
There is so much space between us
Maybe we're already defeated
Ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah everything changed me

We're not the only ones
I don't regret a thing
Every word I've said
You know I'll always mean
It is the world to me
That you are in my life
But I want to live
And not just survive

That's why I can't love you in the dark
It feels like we're oceans apart
There is so much space between us
Maybe we're already defeated
'Cause ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah everything changed me
And I-I-I-I-I don't think you can save me

What is the Meaning of Love in the Dark?

In this emotionally charged ballad, the artist grapples with the painful reality of a relationship that has lost its spark. The lyrics reflect an internal struggle, where the protagonist is torn between her affection for her partner and her need for personal growth and happiness. The 'dark' symbolizes a love shrouded in denial and fear of confronting the truth about their failing relationship. The 'oceans apart' signifies emotional distance that has grown over time. Despite acknowledging their shared history and appreciating the impact they've had on each other's lives, she realizes the importance of living authentically rather than merely surviving within a loveless union. The song serves as a poignant reminder that self-love should not be compromised for the sake of maintaining relationships.
