Stiff Little Fingers - My Dark Places lyrics

Well it cuts just like as knife Takes away your love of life Puts out your fire and leaves you in the ashes And you lay there in the hole What you loved now leaves you cold It’s hard to get the strength to face the morning Some days you really feel like hiding Some days you swear you’ll never go out anymore [Chorus:] And I’m not going back I’m not going back to my dark places I’m not going back I’m not going back to my dark places Well the days drag slowly by All you want to do is cry Nothing makes sense nothing has a reason And the world is not the same And you’re the one to blame Before too long you feel just like a prisoner Some days you really feel like screaming Some days you swear you’ll never smile anymore [Chorus] It’s something they can’t see yet it seems so real to me Can’t explain just how I feel when what I feel is no emotion It’s not a tragedy, yet that’s how it seems to me I wish that you could see or even for one minute be me Well, I got there in the end With the help of many friends Some who helped by simply just believing And the days look brighter now Yet I know someday, somehow I could end up back there in an instant Some days I really feel like laughing Some days I realize I must stay on my guard [Chorus]
