The Dark
DJ.A.Stone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don’t wanna hear ya
I don’t wanna feel ya
You’re just a dark part of my past
Don’t wanna hold ya
I don’t wanna know ya
I don’t wanna love you
Why couldn’t you make it last
I never felt your range
You were the brightest star, I never thought you’d go
But something happened to you, I guess you just got old
You never left me but you were a Dark Rocker not anymore sad
What happened to you
It’s like I never knew you
It’s like the time you promised you’d always
Be there in the end, oh yeah
What you didn’t tell me
It’s not that I don’t want you
It’s not that I don’t need you
Maybe we’re just on the mend
Why did things have to change
I never felt your range
You were the brightest star, I never thought you’d go
But something happened to you, I guess you just got old
You never left me but you were a Dark Rocker not anymore
Too Bad
Mmmm
Yeah
Ohh oh
Yeah
Why I never got it
I guess I didn’t want it
I guess I didn’t love you
Sorry, I just gave up, Oh well
Why you still believed it
It’s not like you need it
Now that I’ve lost it
I will never be the same
Why did things have to change
I never felt your range
You were the brightest star, I never thought you’d go
But something happened to you, I guess you just got old
You never left me but you were a Dark Rocker not anymore
Too Bad
