Lyrics
When Darkness Falls
Judd/Brown/Brown
Was it something I said that made you walk out and not say goodbye?
And all of the things you told me; I guess they were nothing but lies
Never would I have imagined that I could be such a fool
You really had me believing that I meant something to you
(Chorus)
When darkness falls I'm broken down and blinded by the pain
Inside these walls my broken heart is destined to remain
I will be here, until you call
When darkness falls
Each time you look in the mirror aren't you a little ashamed
And I only wanted to love you; you were just playing a game
If only you would just tell me that I am not what you need
Say anything that you have to; please just say something to me
(Chorus)
When darkness falls I'm broken down and blinded by the pain
Inside these walls my broken heart is destined to remain
I will be here, until you call
When darkness falls
I will be here, until you call
When darkness falls
