Don't Keep Me In The Dark
Loverboy Lyrics

Oh what an illumination love can be
Love has the power to enlighten and illuminate one's life

Open up your eyes to its light and you will see
If you embrace love with an open heart, it will bring light and joy into your life

You did that for me, you opened up my eyes
The singer's lover helped them experience the light and beauty of love

Then extraordinary changes started happening to me
Love initiated significant and positive changes in the artist's life

My temperature would rise and fall inside of me
The artist experienced intense and fluctuating emotions due to love

Words came naturally, you were more than I could fantasize
The singer's lover made them feel more alive than they ever imagined and words to express their feelings came easily

And I'll never know, why someone's heart wants to die
The singer is confused as to why people can choose to walk out on love, hurting themselves in the process.

If you ever need, if you need to tell me goodbye
If the artist's lover ever wants to end the relationship, they should be honest and communicate it directly

Don't keep me in the dark
Don't leave the artist without knowledge or communication, causing them to be lost and confused

Silence won't protect you
Avoiding communication will not make the situation any better

Tell me when it's over
Have the decency to break up by telling me the truth.

You tear my world apart
Keeping the artist in the dark during a break up will cause them pain and distress

I can't put my finger on what might have been
The singer can't identify a specific event or situation that caused their lover to leave them in the dark

Any more than I can say when the love will end
The singer is unable to predict when their love will come to an end

But time and time again
Despite the struggles that come with love, the singer is willing to try again and again

I realize you're all I need to know
Despite the unknowns that come with relationships, the artist understands that their lover is all they need in order to be happy

You'll still be part of the hole in my heart and my soul
Even if they break up, the artist will always have a void in their heart and soul where their lover used to be

But if our love should ever lose its control
If their relationship becomes unhealthy or out of control, the singer would prefer honest and direct communication to being left in the dark

Don't you keep me in the dark
The singer reiterates the importance of open communication throughout the entire relationship

Don't you look away
The artist urges their lover to face their problems head-on and not ignore them
