Lyrics

Dark Side of Love ? Dino Costi


There are nights when the rain falls like silver daggers in the shadows
And the wind on my skin is so cold
There are days when the air burns like wild fires in the sunlight
And my body just melts to the ground
And the whole world around is so empty and ugly and old

There are times that seem never-ending
There are moments that flash and are gone
There are dreams that go on forever
And there are nightmares that come with the dark

There are thoughts that whisper like phantoms
There are memories that echo like steel
There are unanswered prayers that fade in the air
And there are feelings that ordinary boys are never meant to feel

There are times when I?m tired and lonely
And you?re the only thing I?m thinking about
I had the prettiest girl
You were everything in my world
And now all I have is nothing and nothing really matters now

There are times that I can?t help crying
When I?m lying all alone in the dark
We had the world in our hands and we let it all go
Why I don?t know
I only know my world is falling apart

You?re all that really mattered baby

So many times I think of having you back in my life
And dream of the things that we could be doing to one another
Your shimmering lips and the way that you use them
Are all that I have on my mind
And if only I could kiss them for one last time
Then I would hold you close forever more
My heart is at the point of a knife
And it can only be saved by that look in your eyes
Whatever it takes then I would do it to have you as my lover

And all we really need is a night of bliss
To rekindle the flame of old love
And this is everything it?ll take for us to wanna start again

Our hopes are like a torch in the night
And we have the power to light up the world
If you return to my side I?ll give you every drop of my blood
I?ll be a sacrificial angel
You?ll be a demon of a girl

?Cause every cry in the dark brings a chill to my heart
And sends all of my fears into overdrive
So that tears tend to start till I just fall apart
And the days seem like years without you in my life

And it appears that we are meant to be
But for all of the proof there?s no denying the truth
Things are never what they seem
There?s no denying the truth
Things are never as good as they promise to be

We started out on a high
We were fearless ? we were right
We were shining like the stars up above
But it all fell apart somehow
And I guess what they say is true
You?re damned if you don?t and you?re damned if you do
Because I never could put up with you
On the dark side of love
I never could cut it with you
On the dark side of love

The good times that we shared and all the sacred nights
They keep flowing through my mind like the wind
And then I know I still love you baby
And I wanna ask you if you?ll love me again
But the bad times that we faced when all the passion would freeze
How they torture me when I?m alone in the dark
The endless cries of rage and how they filled me with dread
The things I so wanted but could never really get
The feelings of despair at being caught in a net
I try to push them back but I can never forget that ?

There were conflicts that felt everlasting
There were tears that fell for so long
There were cries that tore through the darkness
And there were sorrows that stung till the dawn

There were fires that burned with such fury
There were emotions that quickly turned cold
There were venomous words that were painfully heard
And there were insults so sinful they can never be retold

There were times when we fought so fiercely
And you pierced me to the heart with your cries
But when you attacked
I?d go and hurt you right back
It was all that I could do to ever put up with your lies

There were times when we swore like soldiers
And others when I swore I would die
We had it all going good and we let it turn bad
And there?s nothing as sad
As looking back with regret night after night after night

But it doesn?t really matter baby

So many times I think of having you back in my life
And dream of the things that we could be doing to one another
Your shimmering lips and the way that you use them
Are all that I have on my mind
And if only I could kiss them for one last time
Then I would hold you close forever more
My heart is at the point of a knife
And it can only be saved by that look in your eyes
Whatever it takes then I would do it to have you as my lover

And all we really need is a night of bliss
To rekindle the flame of old love
And this is everything it?ll take for us to wanna? start again
Our hopes are like a torch in the night
And we have the power to light up the world
If you return to my side I?ll give you every drop of my blood
I?ll be a sacrificial angel
You?ll be a demon of a girl

?Cause every cry in the dark brings a chill to my heart
And sends all of my fears into overdrive
So that tears tend to start till I just fall apart
And all the days seem like years without you in my life

And it appears that we are meant to be
But for all of the proof there?s no denying the truth
Things are never what they seem
There?s no denying the truth
Things are never as good as they promise to be

We started out on a high
We were fearless ? we were right
We were shining like the stars up above
But it all fell apart somehow
And I guess what they say is true
You?re damned if you don?t and you?re damned if you do
Because I never could put up with you
On the dark side of love
I never could cut it with you
On the dark side of love

On the dark side of love
