[Intro]
Why do you only love me in the dark?
Why do you promise underneath the stars?
Our hearts will never ever be apart
Only in the dark, only in the dark, dark, dark
[Verse 1]
I can feel the heat across the bar
But you give me chills across my arms
Why do I always pick the wildest cards?
Oh why, oh why?
Always givin' up my heart to break
Swear you're never gonna change your ways
Every time I tell you stay away
You keep callin', keep callin'
Never out in the light of day
Tell me why I never see your face
Every time you tell me I'm not safe
I keep fallin' into the
[Pre-Chorus]
Twilight, exhilaration
You say I'm your inspiration
But, baby, I'm so frustrated
The lights turn on, when I wake up, you're gone
Why do you only love me in the dark?
Why do you promise underneath the stars?
Our hearts will never ever be apart
Only in the dark, only in the dark, dark, dark
[Verse 1]
I can feel the heat across the bar
But you give me chills across my arms
Why do I always pick the wildest cards?
Oh why, oh why?
Always givin' up my heart to break
Swear you're never gonna change your ways
Every time I tell you stay away
You keep callin', keep callin'
Never out in the light of day
Tell me why I never see your face
Every time you tell me I'm not safe
I keep fallin' into the
[Pre-Chorus]
Twilight, exhilaration
You say I'm your inspiration
But, baby, I'm so frustrated
The lights turn on, when I wake up, you're gone
[Chorus]
Why do you only love me in the dark?
Why do you promise underneath the stars?
Our hearts will never ever be apart
Only in the dark, only in the dark, dark, dark
Why do you only love me in the dark?
Why do you promise underneath the stars?
Our hearts will never ever be apart
Only in the dark, only in the dark, dark, dark
[Verse 2]
I step into your world, see you inside-out
But when the music stops, I'm upside-down
Am I the only girl you dream about?
Just say you're mine, mine
[Pre-Chorus]
In the twilight, exhilaration
You say I'm your inspiration
But, baby, I'm so frustrated
The lights turn on, when I wake up, you're gone (Oh)
[Chorus]
Why do you only love me in the dark?
Why do you promise underneath the stars?
Our hearts will never ever be apart
Only in the dark, only in the dark, dark, dark
Why do you only love me in the dark?
Why do you promise underneath the stars?
Our hearts will never ever be apart
Only in the dark, only in the dark, dark, dark
Why do you only love me in the dark?
Why do you promise underneath the stars?
Our hearts will never ever be apart
Only in the dark, only in the dark, dark, dark
Why do you only love me in the dark?
Why do you promise underneath the stars?
Our hearts will never ever be apart
Only in the dark, only in the dark, dark, dark
[Verse 2]
I step into your world, see you inside-out
But when the music stops, I'm upside-down
Am I the only girl you dream about?
Just say you're mine, mine
[Pre-Chorus]
In the twilight, exhilaration
You say I'm your inspiration
But, baby, I'm so frustrated
The lights turn on, when I wake up, you're gone (Oh)
[Chorus]
Why do you only love me in the dark?
Why do you promise underneath the stars?
Our hearts will never ever be apart
Only in the dark, only in the dark, dark, dark
Why do you only love me in the dark?
Why do you promise underneath the stars?
Our hearts will never ever be apart
Only in the dark, only in the dark, dark, dark

What did Ava Max say about "In The Dark"?
Genius Answer
I have a 19-year-old niece. She was talking to me in the studio, and she was like, ‘You should write a song about how sometimes guys don’t want to hike with girls in the morning, how guys just want to bang and leave, and they just want to see you in the dark.’ That has definitely happened to me. I have definitely been banged and never talked to again. Why do guys only love in the dark sometimes? Love me during the day.
