[Verse 1]
I don't want to hurt you
I just want to hold you
But I know I don't deserve you
It's something that I can't do
I know you and you know me
Oh I can't seem to let you be
I can't hold this down, I can't hold this down

[Chorus]
So love me with the lights out
All we have is right now
Baby hold me close and don't let go
'Cause this is bound to end
Maybe we can make believe
Tell ourselves we don't see
What this is and what it's not
Help me to forget

[Post-Chorus]
Just love me with the lights out
Love me with the lights out

[Verse 2]
You're the one who called me
Late last night and told me
That you think you deserve me
That I'm something you need
But we both know the truth
No I'm not the one for you
I can't hold this down, I can't hold this down
[Chorus]
So love me with the lights out
All we have is right now
Baby hold me close and don't let go
'Cause this is bound to end
Maybe we can make believe
Tell ourselves we don't see
What this is and what it's not
Help me to forget

[Post-Chorus]
Just love me with the lights out
Love me with the lights out
Just love me with the lights out
Love me with the lights out

[Outro]
I don't want to hurt you
I just want to hold you
I just want to hold you
