Oh what an illumination love can be
Open up your eyes to its light and you will see
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 came 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 dork
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 con 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'll tear my world apart
If 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 dork
Oh no, don't keep me in the dark
Don't you keep me in the dark
Don't you look away
Open up your eyes to its light and you will see
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 came 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 dork
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 con 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'll tear my world apart
If 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 dork
Oh no, don't keep me in the dark
Don't you keep me in the dark
Don't you look away
