Phil O'Donnell - Dark Places Lyrics

You've got to find your own way in the dark
There's a light you can see from afar

I've been to some dark places
Lonely corners of my soul
Feel my time's been wasted
On forces I can't control
Now they slowly creep, taking me over

I've made some bad choices
Now the doubt has broken through
I only hear cruel voices
That tell me I'm a fool
But I can't destroy it
Taunted by the truth
Now there's no-one else but myself to accuse

I have tried to see the light upon my skin
But the darkness inside me covers everything

I've seen some lonely faces
Behind the masks we wear
But I can't escape this
Double down on my despair
Set so deep underneath, I can't ignore

I have tried to see the light upon my skin
But the darkness inside me covers everything

You can learn to live with the dark
Embrace every part of who you are
Every light casts a shade
You don't have to be afraid

Of these dark places
Look for the footsteps of the past
And they will lead you where you need to go

Why can't I feel the light upon my skin
The darkness inside me swallows everything

You've got to find your own way to the light
Just try to get out of here alive
