Lyrics

Kept in the Dark

These stages they go one by one
They all draw u along
Once you're there
It's not so much a song

Lead me to believe I'm there
But yet another step of the stairs so try
Climb higher up higher higher
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh oh-ooh-ah
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh oh-ooh-ahh-ooh

Keepin' up it's not so hard
But this dirt's in my eyes from the dust off the path
I'm blind but keepin' it up
U-u we all have common hopes and goals
But not everyone gets what it is they want
I fought one to one
To settle for none

Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh oh-ooh-ah
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh oh-ooh-ahh
Ooh I'm kept in the dark
Ooh I'm fallin' alone
Ooh I'm kept in the dark
Ooh I'm fallin' I'm fallin' alone
Ooh I'm kept in the dark
Ooh I'm fallin' alone
Ooh I'm kept in the dark
Ooh I'm fallin' alone

Caught in the angel's stare
High up above they watch down from their chairs
And laugh at our hands in prayer
Caught in the angel's stare

They stare high up above they watch down from their chairs
And laugh at our hands in prayer prayer prayer prayer
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh oh-ooh-ah
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh oh-ooh-ahh
Ooh I'm kept in the dark
Ooh I'm fallin' alone

Ooh I'm kept in the dark
Ooh I'm fallin' I'm fallin' alone
Ooh I'm kept in the dark
Ooh I'm fallin' alone
Ooh I'm kept in the dark
Ooh I'm fallin' alone
