My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)
Lyrics:
[English]
(upbeat music)
♪ Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh oh ♪
♪ Be careful making wishes in the dark ♪
♪ Can't be sure when they've hit their mark ♪
♪ And besides in the mean-meantime ♪
♪ I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart ♪
♪ I'm in the de-details with the devil ♪
♪ So now the world can never get me on my level ♪
♪ I just got to get you out of the cage ♪
♪ I'm a young lovers rage ♪
♪ Gonna need a spark to ignite ♪
♪ My songs know what you did in the dark ♪
♪ So light em up up up, light em up up up ♪
♪ Light em up up up, I'm on fire ♪
♪ So light em up up up, light em up up up ♪
♪ Light em up up up, I'm on fire ♪
♪ Ooh oh oh oh in the dark-dark ♪
♪ Ooh oh oh oh in the dark-dark ♪
♪ All the writers keep writing what they write ♪
♪ Somewhere another pretty vein just dies ♪
♪ I've got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see ♪
♪ That you're the antidote to everything, except for me ♪
♪ A constellation of tears on your lashes ♪
♪ Burn everything you love ♪
♪ Then burn the ashes ♪
♪ In the end everything collides ♪
♪ My childhood spat back out the monster that you see ♪
♪ My songs know what you did in the dark ♪
♪ So light em up up up, light em up up up ♪
♪ Light em up up up, I'm on fire ♪
♪ So light em up up up, light em up up up ♪
♪ Light em up up up, I'm on fire ♪
♪ Ooh oh oh oh In the dark-dark ♪
♪ Ooh oh oh oh In the dark-dark ♪
♪ My songs know what you did in the dark ♪
♪ My songs know what you did in the dark ♪
♪ So light em up up up, light em up up up ♪
♪ Light em up up up, I'm on fire ♪
♪ So light em up up up, light em up up up ♪
♪ Light em up up up, I'm on fire ♪
♪ Ooh oh oh oh In the dark-dark ♪
♪ Ooh oh oh oh In the dark-dark ♪
♪ Ooh oh oh ♪
