[Intro] I donโt wanna fight you I donโt wanna fall apart I just wanna stop finding Myself back in the dark [Verse 1] It started quiet I was careful with my tone Trying not to summon The war inside your bones But something in me trembles Something starts to bend One look in your eyes And Iโm breaking again [Pre-Chorus] I feel your words Before they even land And I start disappearing Before I understand [Chorus] Back in the dark Iโm slipping underneath All the younger broken pieces Start crying out in me Back in the dark I forget how to stay One moment in the sunlight Then Iโm drowning in the weight And I hate that it still hurts How fast I lose my way That look in your eyes And Iโm back in the dark again [Verse 2] Iโm not asking for silence Or for truth to lose its shape I just need room for the parts of me That panic when Iโm blamed Iโm not every shadow That ever crossed this room But something old inside me Still believes Iโm hurting you [Pre-Chorus] I feel your words Before they even land And I start disappearing Before I understand [Chorus] Back in the dark Iโm slipping underneath All the younger broken pieces Start crying out in me Back in the dark I forget how to stay One moment in the sunlight Then Iโm drowning in the weight And I hate that it still hurts How fast I lose my way That look in your eyes And Iโm back in the dark again [Bridge] I wish we could talk Without armor on our chest Without every tender feeling Turning into self-defense Thereโs a part of me that panics Thereโs a part that wants to run Thereโs a part that still remembers Every war I thought was done And I know youโre not my enemy Even when the room feels sharp But the ones I love can wake the places Still learning they are safe from harm I was finally feeling steady I was almost feeling free Then one moment pulled me inward To the younger parts of me [Final Chorus] Back in the dark Iโm slipping underneath All the younger broken pieces Start crying out in me Back in the dark I forget how to stay One moment in the sunlight Then Iโm drowning in the weight And I hate that it still hurts How fast I lose my way That look in your eyes And Iโm back in the dark again [Outro] Back in the dark
