The Darkness

(Verse 1)

In my life I've had so many men

But there's one I come back to again and again

We've been on and off for such a long time

And now he's back and I'm feeling oh so fine

(Chorus 1)

He's the darkness

My first love, my true love

The darkness

He knows me better than anyone

He holds me close and whispers things that I don't want to hear

When I feel the butterflies of dread, I know the darkness is near

(Verse 2)

We met around the time I started first grade

Every summer after that we'd play solitaire in the shade

On prom night, he was the only boy I kissed

And when he'd visit my dorm, I'd remember how much I'd missed

(Chorus 2)

The darkness

His love for me is pure

The darkness

He's handsome for a metaphor

(Bridge)

And his name is Tyler

Yeah, that feels right

His name is Tyler

He drunk-dials me every night

Tyler, Tyler, Tyler

Your kiss feels like a cut

You play drums and wear guyliner

And your pet name for me is "slut."

(Coda)

For so many years I've used the darkness to feel

But now there are things in my life that are actually real

I gotta make a choice, darlin' don't ask me why

So will I have the strength to tell the darkness

To tell Tyler Darkness

Goodbye?
