Dark Places Lyrics

If I thought it would help,

I would drive this car into the sea

If the fire and the smoke and explosions could speak for me

If the words that I used to try to explain

how something inside of me started to break

but one by one, my words just got in the way

and how many nights did I crash against the waves

with my head going under?

How many days did I spend trying to see it your way,

if you try, you remember

I changed and changed and kept on saying

'One of these days, something inside's gonna break

and we won't get it back now, baby'

(Something's gonna break)

if I thought it would help,

I would carve your name into my heart

(If I thought it would help,

I would carve your name into my heart)

And if I thought it would help,

I would carve your name into my heart

(If I thought it would help,

I would carve your name into my heart)

All of the things that I tried to explain,

how something inside of me started to break

We were living proof, one by one,

we drifted away

(one by one, we drifted away)

And time after time

there were things that would scare me to tears,

while you called me haunted

I paced around the bed where you laid

One of these days, baby, something

(something's gonna break)

if I thought it would help,

I would carve your name into my heart

(If I thought it would help,

I would carve your name into my heart)

And if I thought it would help,

I would carve your name into my heart

(If I thought it would help,

I would carve your name into my heart)

All of the things that I tried to explain,

how something inside of me started to break

We were living proof, one by one,

we drifted away

Drifted away hey hey

One by one and day by day,

I became the dark in the places where we lived

if I thought it would help,

I would carve your name into my heart

(If I thought it would help,

I would carve your name into my heart)

And if I thought it would help,

I would carve your name into my heart

(If I thought it would help,

I would carve your name into my heart)

All of the things that I tried to explain,

how something inside of me started to break

We were living proof, one by one,

we drifted away

one by one,

we drifted away

We were living proof, one by one,

we drifted away
