The Darkness lyrics

I caught the darkness baby,

Drinking from your cup,

I caught the darkness baby,

from your little ruby cup.

I said is this contagious?

You said just drink it up

Ive got no future,

I know my days are few

The presents not that pleasant

just a lot of things to do

I thought the past would last me

but the darkness got there too

I should have seen it coming

it was right behind your eyes

you were young and it was summer

ahhh-I had to take a dive

yeah winning you was easy

but the darkness was the prize

I dont use no cigerette

and I cant taste the alcohol

I aint had much loving yet

ah but thats always been your call

ever since the darkness

doesnt make much sense to me at all

I used to love the rainbow

And I used to love the view

I loved the early morning

and I pretended it was new

but I caught the darkness baby

and I got it worse than you

caught the darkness

drinking from your cup

I caught the darkness

drinking from your cup

I said is this contagious?

you said just drink it up
