lyrics

It’s always the darkest before the dawn baby
Though the sun might burn my eyes
It’s taking too long to recover baby
But right now, I’m doing fine
But rain came with this heartache baby
Take all I leave behind
Said I want you too know
I’m so far gone away
You can't reach me
Nothing can keep me
I won’t be back
I said I want you too know
I’ll make it all the way
I need you like the stars need darkness to shine bright
You had walking around in circles
Your shadow left me blind and crazy
I dug so deep inside of me
And you left me crying
But rain came with this heartache baby
Take all I leave behind
Said I want you too know
I’m so far gone away
You can't reach me
Nothing can keep me
I won’t be back
I said I want you too know
I’ll make it all the way
I need you like the stars need darkness to shine bright
Shine your light on me
Shine your light on me

I was looking for this song for years. I heard it a few times when I used to work at Kohls but never caught the name of the band. That was nearly five years ago and I've FINALLY found the band. Anyway, I love this album, it was worth the wait! Can't wait to listen to more by this group. nvan92
