Dark Times Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ed Sheeran]
Waking up, half-past five
Blood on pillow and one bruised eye
Drunk too much, you know what I'm like
But you shoulda seen the other guy

[Pre-Chorus 1: Ed Sheeran]
This ain't the right time for you to fall in love with me
Well, baby, I'm just being honest
And I know my lies could not make you believe
We're running in circles, that's why

[Chorus 1: Ed Sheeran]
In my dark time, I'll be going back to the street
Promising everything I do not mean
In my dark time, baby, this is all I could be
And only my mother can love me for me
In my dark time
In my dark time

[Verse 2: The Weeknd]
Light one up, let me bum a smoke, uh
Still coming down, dripping throat, uh
I got another man's blood on my clothes
But it ain't his fault, it's the life I chose

[Pre-Chorus 2: The Weeknd]
This ain't the right time for you to fall in love with me
My baby, I'm just being honest, uh
And I know my lies could never make you believe
Running in circles, that's why

[Chorus 2: The Weeknd]
In my dark times, I'll be going back to these streets
Promising everything I do not mean
In my dark times, maybe this is all I could be
Only my mother could love me for me
In my dark times
In my dark times

[Bridge: Ed Sheeran & The Weeknd]
In my dark times, I've still got some problems, I know
Drivin' too fast but just movin' too slow
And I've got something I've been trying to let go of
Pullin' me back every time

[Chorus 3: Ed Sheeran & The Weeknd]
In my dark times, taking it back to the street
Making those promises that I could not keep
In my dark times, baby, this is all I could be
Only my mother could love me for me
In my dark time, taking it down to the street
Making those promises that I would never keep
In my dark time, this is all I could be
Only my mother could love me for me
In my dark times
In my dark time
In my dark times

How did this collaboration come about?

I wrote a song with Ed Sheeran that was kind of spontaneous, he was hosting the Much Music Awards in Toronto and I invited him, and pretty much the entire awards show, to my condo to party.
