About Writer In The Dark

"Writer in the Dark" is about a person leaving a relationship to be with someone else, and how their former partner will regret the day they chose to kiss a writer in the dark. The lyrics allude to the idea that the "writer" is a metaphor for someone with a creative spirit, and how creativity can be a source of strength for them, even through hard times. The chorus affirms that, despite the difficulty of the breakup, the narrator will find the inner strength to survive, and that they don't need to be with the other person to feel complete. .

Writer In The Dark Lyrics

[00:00.49] Break the news, you're walking out
[00:03.66] To be a good man for someone else
[00:07.08] Sorry I was never good like you
[00:13.57] Stood on my chest and kept me down
[00:16.42] Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd
[00:20.42] Did my best to exist just for you
[00:25.77] Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
[00:32.36] Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
[00:39.04] Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
[00:45.66] Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
[00:53.61] I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
[00:59.56] I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
[01:06.99] But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
[01:13.06] I'll find a way to be without you, babe
[01:20.25] I still feel you, now and then
[01:23.63] Slow like Pseudoephedrine
[01:27.14] When you see me, will you say I've changed?
[01:33.50] I ride the subway, read the signs
[01:36.58] I let the seasons change my mind
[01:39.84] I love it here, since I've stopped needing you
[01:45.79] Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
[01:52.33] Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
[01:59.18] Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
[02:05.71] Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
[02:13.76] I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
[02:19.65] I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
[02:24.44]
[02:27.06] But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
[02:33.02] I'll find a way to be without you, babe
[02:37.63]
[02:40.65] I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
[02:46.23] I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
[02:53.92] But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
[02:59.64] I'll find a way to be without you, babe
[03:03.19]
