Keep The Darkness Away Lyrics

You were there from the start
Right when I came apart
You picked me up and helped me find
All I left behind

I was bloodied and beat
I couldn't stand on my feet
And I stared into the blackened morning sky
Wondering why

How could you see all that I could be
When I stood there naked and torn?
You're the only one that never thought to run
Though I flood you with poison and scorn
Don't know why you stay
But you keep the darkness away

All the world had me down
I tried to swim but I drowned
So I got down on my knees and began to pray
But I heard you say

"I know this wasn't your plan
Open your eyes, here's my hand."
That early road you chose to take
Was your mistake

'Cause baby, I see all that you could be
As you stand there naked and torn
I'm the only one who never thought to run
Though you flood me with poison and scorn
Forever here I'll stay
To keep your darkness away

We're a pocket watch without any hands
No one could ever know what we begin to try
But I'll keep holding on 'til your love is won

'Cause baby I see all that you could be
As you stand there naked and torn
I'm the only one who never thought to run
Though you flood me with poison and scorn
Forever here I'll stay
To keep your darkness away

Forever here I'll stay
I'll keep the darkness away
