Carp 18 Lyrics

Alone in the Dark
  by Joe Fahey
 

oh yeah, it's over now, we talked it over well
the strength that grew within ourselves just crumbled down and fell
it's nothing new in history, we're not the first to fall
but with the slinging of your mud, I've got some shots to call

you claimed that I left you sitting all alone in the dark
you said that I had no right
you claimed that I left you sitting all alone in the dark
but maybe, you just couldn't see the light

you said that I was using you and you justified your claim
on the certain night when the mood was right and I couldn't recall your name
I can't declare my innocence, I never really could
sometimes I just wonder, why I ever should

you claimed that I left you sitting all alone in the dark
you said that I had no right
you claimed that I left you sitting all alone in the dark
but maybe, you just couldn't see the light

the quicksand that you left me in is all I'm thinking of
there never was a single time when we ever called it love
we've been through that tired, old discussion all before
you dragged me through the ringer, and still you want some more
