[Intro]
Welcome to my dark side
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
[Bridge]
Welcome to my dark side
It's gonna be a long night
Oh, la, la, la, la
[Verse 1]
Welcome to my darkness, I been here a while
Clouding up the sunlight, hurting for a smile
Or something, but something always turns into nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I drain your life 'til there's nothing left but your blood shot eyes
Oh, I take my time 'til I show you how I feel inside
[Chorus]
Welcome to my, welcome to my
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Welcome to my dark side
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I can be your reckless, you can be my stain
I can be your heartache, you can be my shame
When you're feeling reckless, when you're feeling chained
When there's nothing left but pain
[Bridge]
Welcome to my dark side
We're gonna have a good time
Oh, la, la, la, la
[Verse 2]
Acting like I'm heartless, I do it all the time
That don't mean I'm scarless, that don't mean I'm fine
But you'll see, when someone else makes you this way
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I drain your life 'til there's nothing left but your blood shot eyes
Oh, I take my time 'til I show you how I feel inside
[Chorus]
Welcome to my, welcome to my
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Welcome to my dark side
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I can be your reckless, you can be my stain
I can be your heartache, you can be my shame
When you're feeling reckless, when you're feeling chained
When there's nothing left but pain
[Bridge]
Welcome to my dark side
Welcome to my dark side
Welcome to my dark side
Welcome to my dark side
Welcome to my (Ooh-ooh)
Welcome to my (Ooh-ooh)
Welcome to my (Ooh-ooh)
Welcome to my (Ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
I can be your reckless, you can be my stain
I can be your heartache, you can be my shame
When you're feeling reckless, when you're feeling chained
[Outro]
Welcome to my dark side
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Welcome to my dark side
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Welcome to my dark side
