Oh, what an illumination love can be
Open up your eyes to its light and you will see
You did that for me (you did that for me), you opened up my eyes
Then extraordinary changes started happening to me

My temperature would rise and fall inside of me
Words come naturally, you were more than I could fantasize
And I'll never know why someone's heart wants to die
If you ever need, if you need to tell me goodbye

Don't keep me in the dark, silence won't protect you
If you're gonna leave, you got to let me know
Don't keep me in the dark, tell me when it's over
You tear my world apart when you keep me in the dark

I can't put my finger on what might have been
Any more than I can say when the love will end
But time and time again I realize you're all I need to know
You'll still be part of the hole in my heart and my soul
But if our love should ever lose its control

Don't keep me in the dark, silence won't protect you
If you're gonna leave, you got to let me know
Don't keep me in the dark, tell me when it's over
You tear my world apart, when you keep me in the dark

Don't keep me in the dark, silence won't protect you
If you're gonna leave, you got to let me know
Don't keep me in the dark, tell me when it's over
You tear my world apart, when you keep me in the dark

Don't keep me in the dark, oh no
Don't keep me in the dark, don't you keep me in the dark
Don't you look away
