Hold me close, don't go away
Don't lock me in the dark
I know I ain't been that great
But don't lock me in the dark
If you go astray
I'll be locked up in the dark
So please don't leave me
Don't lock me in the dark
I know that you've been hurting
And most of it's my fault
I know that I was a burden
And you chose to walk
But some things were left unsaid, uncertain
Girl, I think we should talk
But you said you're done being part of a cycle
That isn't good for your heart
But I ain't ready for my baby girl to leave me
Ooh and I don't wanna see another man holding my baby
Ooh and I don't wanna run into her at the grocery
And I don't wanna see my baby girl leave me
Hold me close, don't go away
Don't lock me in the dark
I know I ain't been that great
But don't lock me in the dark
If you go astray
I'll be locked up in the dark
So please don't leave me
Don't lock me in the dark
I'll take responsibility for all that I've done
I'll make the changes so I'm not back at square one
So tell me that I am going to be back with you one day
Cause I never meant for this to happen again
But I ain't ready for my baby girl to run out
Ooh and I don't wanna see another man picking her clothes out
Ooh and I don't wanna let my baby girl leave my eyesight
And I don't want my baby girl to leave me
Alright
I think that we can make it
I think we'll make it baby this time
Don't you let me go
Don't you let me go for the night
I really wanna make it
I really wanna make it this time
This time
