Story Behind the SongI had a very rough draft/idea of this song. I contacted Susan Odella and we collaborated on this one. Interesting lyrics.

Lyrics
LIES IN THE DARK
VERSE
Such a cunning thief, with a silver tongue
Talked me into love, then you gave me none
Tangled up in sheets, so I couldn't run
Sank your dagger deep, it was all in fun
Smothered me with kisses that I couldn't deny
Filled me up with bliss 'til you made me cry
Snuck behind my back, hung me out to dry
Covered up your tracks, left without a goodbye
CHORUS
Lies in the dark
Casanova lover with a criminal mind
Lies in the dark
Left another victim at the scene of a crime
Lies in the dark
I was lovesick blind to your dangerous kind
Lies in the dark
Getaway was clean without a clue left behind
VERSE
Should have seen you coming from a mile away
Should have caught the swagger when you first said "Hey"
Tore my heart apart like it was yesterday
Gave you everything, but you just wouldn't stay
I was just a drive-by little did I know
Kept your motor running, left me all aglow
Came in guns a blazing, hit me high and low
Never had a chance there's nothing left to show
CHORUS
BRIDGE
CHORUS
Casanova lover with a criminal mind
Just another victim at the scene of a crime
Lies in the dark
I was lovesick blind to your dangerous kind
Lies in the dark
Getaway was clean without a clue left behind
TAG
Lies in the dark, lies in the dark
Lies in the dark, lies in the dark
