Lyrics
It was 3am she turned to me and said
"are we trying to fight the darkness with more darkness?"
Through the heat of a midwest summer
came the chill of breaking up
and as she drove away that morning I just watched
and that night she never called
I went stublin from bar to bar
trying to fight the darkness with more darkness
then I left for California 3 months after that bitter end
I did my best to catch the sunset when it came
that was her favorite time of day
she was the most I had ever loved
and that winter passed two thousand miles apart
why's it have to end the hard way?
What I learned from it is this
that you cannot fight the darkness with more darkness
