The Gaslight Anthem - Dark Places Lyrics
(Verse)If I thought it would help, I would drive this car into the seaIf the fire and smoke and explosions could speak for meIf the words that I used to try to explain how something inside of me started to breakI put one by one, my words just got in the wayHow many nights did I crash against the waves with my head going under?How many days did I spend trying to see it your way, if you try, you'd rememberI changed and changed and kept on saying'One of these days, something inside's gonna break and we won't get it back now, baby'(Something's gonna break)(Chorus)And if I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart(If I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart)And if I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart(If I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart)All of the things that I tried to explain, how something inside of me started to breakWe were living proof, one by one, we drifted away (one by one, we drifted away)And time after time there were things that would scare me to tears, while you called me hauntedI paced around the bed where you laidOne of these days, maybe, something (something's gonna break)(Interlude)(Chorus)And if I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart(If I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart)And if I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart(If I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart)And all of the things that I tried to explain, how something inside of me started to breakWe were living proof, one by one, we drifted awayAway, hey, yeahDrifted away, hey, yeahOne by one and day by day, I became the dark in the places where we livedAnd if I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart(If I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart)And if I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart(If I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart)And all of the things that I tried to explain, how something inside of me started to breakWe were living proof, one by one, we drifted away
