I'm not ready, I'm not ready for the black night
Slow and steady, I've been dragging out our goodbye
When you open up to me, I fall down on my knees
When you open up I know it's holy

You would say, you wanna give up on it
And all the ways you light my candle
And I would say, I wanna give up on it
But in the dark I cannot handle
No you, no you
Cannot handle
No you, no you

Independence seems like such a sweet word
Across the ocean, I feel like a free bird
When you finally come to me I fall down on my knees
When you open up I know it's holy

You would say, you wanna give up on it
And all the ways you light my candle
And I would say, I wanna give up on it
But in the dark I cannot handle
No you, no you
Cannot handle
No you, no you

And what you want, well I want for you
And what you need, I want, I want, I want it for you
And what I want, what you want for me too
But I pose, expose the wrong directions
Will I ever learn to love you alright?

You would say, you wanna give up on it
And all the ways you light my candle
And I would say, I wanna give up on it
But in the dark I cannot handle
No you, no you
I cannot handle
No you, no you
I cannot handle
