Lyrics

I met you in with the dark, you lit me up,

And We danced the night to a way, we drank too much,

and I held my your hair back when you were throw ing up.

Then you smiled o ver your shoul der for a min ute, I was stone that cold so ber I pulled you clos er to my chest.

Oh and And you asked as me to stay as o ver, I said, I that ev ’ry al rea dy told ya I think that me you should get some rest.

I knew I loved you then but you’d nev er know

’cause I played it cool when is I was (Eb)scared its of let ting go.
