I'm sorry for leaving, and making you believe in, a man that I'll never be
Heading down the road now, clean my heart and soul out, just like a refinery
If I could stay for the night, I'll feel alright, by the morning come
You'll be crying in your bed, and dying in your head with the morning Sun

I gotta get the dark out of me before I head on back
Because the good heart in me knows I need you back
I gotta get the dark out of me before I head on back
Because the good heart in me knows I need you back

And I know I'm not a good man but you gotta understand what I've been through
I spend my dark days in hell and if you couldn't tell, I found a light in you
And I'll never be the same and it's all you to blame, who gave that right to you?
But if push comes to shove, I'm in desperate need of love, I'll fuckin' fight for you

I gotta get the dark out of me before I head on back
Because the good heart in me knows I need you back
I gotta get the dark out of me before I head on back
Because the good heart in me knows I need you back

I'm sorry for leaving, and making you believe in, a man that I'll never be
Heading down the road now, clean my heart and soul out, just like a refinery
I gotta get the dark out of me before I head on back
