it got so dark that i couldn't see the stars
i couldn't see the rest of you
and i couldn't feel my heart
got so hard that all i wanted was more
and all i needed was less than you'd ever ceded
it got so dark that i couldn't see the stars
and everybody thinks that they know what i'm talking about
it got so hard that i couldn't feel my heart
and i couldn't see anybody else's

there's a lot that i don't wanna admit
but i'm gonna admit the whole lot of it
there's a whole damn lot i don't wanna admit
but i'm gonna admit the whole lot of it

you got your hands around my throat
you got your foot upon my neck
and you'll be taking my last breath
and it'll be all she wrote

i got my hands around your throat
i got my foot upon your neck
and i'll be taking your last breath
and it'll be all she wrote

it got so dark that i couldn't see the stars
and i couldn't hear the cars passing by in the road
and though you never truly know
if someone means what they bellow
you should probably stand back when someone's eyes glow

cos all i know

is i gotta get used to it
i gotta get used to it
i gotta get used to it
cos you're used to it
gotta get used to it
let my heart get used to it
gotta get used to being used,
to being used

it got so dark that it couldn't be the stars
it couldn't be the rest of you
and it couldn't be my heart
got so hard that the other kids all ran off
and i just stood there staring into that river.
