[Verse 1] (soft piano, low strings)
You touched the parts of me the light abandoned
Every shattered truth I handed you, you handled
You’re the sin I learned to breathe like air
A whispered promise pulling me somewhere
[Pre-Chorus] (choir begins, distant and haunting)
I’m not falling — I’m surrendering
To the dark that feels like home again
[Chorus] (strings rise, choir swells)
My soul went dark for all the right reasons
You held my shadows like a vow, not a weakness
If loving you is ruin, then let me be bleeding
My soul went dark —
But with you, it feels like meaning.
⸻
[Verse 2] (violins trembling underneath)
Your hands are stained, but they’re the ones that saved me
Danger dressed in something that won’t break me
They call you wicked — but I see truth instead
A villain’s heart that beats for me in red
[Pre-Chorus] (choir harmonies thicken)
I’m not falling — I’m surrendering
To the dark that feels like home again
⸻
✨ Bridge — Cathedral, emotional, aching
(Choir echoes her lines in ghostly harmony)
HER:
If I’m the price you pay for love,
Then take what’s left of me
CHOIR (soft):
Take what’s left of me
HER:
I’d walk through fire just to feel
The way you pull me into grief
CHOIR (rising):
Into grief
Into you
HER (belting):
You’re the darkness I choose —
And the truth I refuse to lose
⸻
✨ Final Chorus — Full strings + full choir, powerful and emotional
My soul went dark for all the right reasons
You held my shadows like a vow, not a weakness
If loving you is ruin, then let me be bleeding
My soul went dark —
But with you… it feels like meaning.
My soul went dark and now I stop pretending
You’re the storm I’d follow even to my ending
If I am yours in darkness, then that’s my freedom
My soul went dark —
For you. For love. For all the right reasons.
