The Dark Lyrics

Why'd I even try when I knew you were already gone
Cause I'm bending and I'm breaking and it never seems to end quite right

My head is like an ocean, cause it never seems to stop
Oh, every time I ever tried it never really ended well

When you reach the end and your head isn't held so high
And you tried so hard not to fail and make it right
And I know with the wеight of the world will you've lost your spark
But the light of your hеart will shine in the dark

Drowning in an ocean and there's no one left to pull me out
I'm past the point of no return there's no one left to save me now
These thoughts are like a wave, I'm struggling to swim
The current pulls me under and I know that it's looking rather dim

Oh, I know the end is near now, it's flashing in my eyes
I've reached my breaking point now, why'd I even try

When you reach the end and your head isn't held so high
And you tried so hard not to fail and make it right
And I know with the weight of the world will you've lost your spark
But the light of your heart will shine in the dark

Why'd I even try when I knew you were already gone
Cause I'm bending and I'm breaking and it never seems to end quite right
When you reach the end and your head isn't held so high
And you tried so hard not to fail and make it right
And I know with the weight of the world will you've lost your spark
But the light of your heart will shine in the dark

But the light of your heart will shine in the dark

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Influenced by “sTraNgeRs” and “Bad Life” by Bring Me The Horizon, The Dark is a song about mental struggles, something we believe to be quite a serious problem in the modern world, especially with the conflicts and issues we are currently facing. We hope this song will connect with listeners' emotions but also give them hope at the chorus with the lyrics “But the light of your heart will shine in the dark.”
