I caught the darkness,
|
It was drinking from your cup.
|
I caught the darkness,
|
Drinking from your cup.
|
I said is this contagious?
|
You said just drink it up.
|
|
I got no future,
|
I know my days are few.
|
The presence not that pleasant,
|
Just a lot of things to do.
|
I thought the past would last me
|
But the darkness got that too.
|
|
I should've seen it coming
|
It was right behind your eyes.
|
You were young and it was summer
|
I just had to take a dive.
|
|
Winin' you was easy, but darkness was the price.
|
|
I don't smoke no cigarette, I don't drink no alcohol
|
I ain't had much loving yet
|
But that's always been your call.
|
Hey I don't miss it baby
|
I got no taste for anything at all
|
|
I used to love the rainbow
|
And I used to love the view.
|
Another early morning, I'd pretend that it was you.
|
But I caught the darkness baby
|
And I got it worse than you.
|
|
I caught the darkness,
|
It was drinking from your cup.
|
I caught the darkness,
|
Drinking from your cup.
|
I said is this contagious?
|
You said just drink it up.
