[Verse 1]
We were a spark
Burned fast, burned hard
You said you just
Needed space for your heart
So I held on
To every half-hearted call
Thought you were scared
Turns out you were gone
[Chorus]
You kept me in the dark
Kept me hopin' for somethin' more
Left a little crack
In that halfway open door
You said "it's just a break"
But you were already gone so far
You ended us before we started
You kept me in the dark
[Verse 2]
I drove by your place
Truck lights on your drive
New set of tires
New someone in your life
All of those nights
You said you were "workin' late"
Guess I was just
A story you couldn't face
[Chorus]
You kept me in the dark
Kept me hopin' for somethin' more
Left a little crack
In that halfway open door
You said "it's just a break"
But you were already gone so far
You ended us before we started
You kept me in the dark
[Bridge]
If you were done
Why'd you leave the light on? (yeah)
Why'd you let me dream
On a love already gone?
[Chorus]
You kept me in the dark
Kept me hopin' for somethin' more
Left a little crack
In that halfway open door
You never gave
What we could be a chance
Just walked away
Before we learned to dance
You ended us before we started
You kept me in the dark
