Into the Dark Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love is madness that's quick to burn
And lying in the embers is where we are
And if my promise is unreturned
Before the day is over I will depart

[Chorus]
If I could choose I'd have you stay
But I gave my heart to you and it's yours to break
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark?

[Verse 2]
Love is blindness I cannot see
Underneath our roots are tangled and buried deep
When the leaves have fallen from the trees
Do we grow together entirely?

[Chorus]
If I could choose I'd have you stay
But I gave my heart to you and it's yours to break
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark?

[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
If I could choose I'd have you stay
But I gave my heart to you and it's yours to break
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark?
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into 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 [?]
