Many might assume that “Love In The Dark” is yet another ode to the relationship that most of 21 is based on, however, it’s far more likely that this is based on the rebound relationship she fell into before she met “her man,” around the release of 21.

[Verse 1]
Take your eyes off of me so I can leave
I'm far too ashamed to do it with you watching me
This is never-endin', we have been here before
But I can't stay this time 'cause I don't love you anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Please, stay where you are
Don't come any closer
Don't try to change my mind
I'm being cruel to be kind
[Chorus]
I can't love you in the dark
It feels like we're oceans apart
There is so much space between us
Baby, we're already defeated
Ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Everything changed me
[Verse 2]
You have given me something that I can't live without
You mustn't underestimate that when you are in doubt
But I don't want to carry on like everything is fine
The longer we ignore it all, the more that we will fight
[Pre-Chorus]
Please, don't fall apart
I can't face your breaking heart
I'm trying to be brave
Stop asking me to stay
[Chorus]
I can't love you in the dark
It feels like we're oceans apart
There is so much space between us
Baby, we're already defeated
Ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Everything changed me
[Bridge]
We're not the only ones, I don't regret a thing
Every word I've said, you know I'll always mean
It is the world to me that you are in my life
But I want to live and not just survive
[Chorus]
That's why I can't love you in the dark
It feels like we're oceans apart
There is so much space between us
Baby, we're already defeated
'Cause ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Everything changed me
And I-I-I-I-I don't think you can save me
