Lyrics

I caught the darkness
 It was drinking from your cup
 I caught the darkness
 
 Drinking from your cup
 I said, "Is this contagious?"
 You said, "Just drink it up."
 I've got no future
 I know my days are few
 The presence, not that pleasant
 Just a lot of things to do
 I thought the past would last me
 But the darkness got there too.
 ♪
 I should've seen it coming
 It was red behind your eyes
 You're young and it was summer
 I just had to take a dive
 Winning you was easy
 But darkness was the price.
 I don't smoke no cigarette
 I don't drink no alcohol
 I ain't had much loving yet
 But that's always been your call
 I don't miss it baby
 I got no taste for anything at all
 I used to love the rainbow
 
 And I used to love the view
 Another early morning
 I pretend that it was new
 But I caught the darkness, baby
 And I got it worse than you.
 ♪
 I caught the darkness
 It was drinking from your cup
 I caught the darkness
 
 Drinking from your cup
 I said, "Is this contagious?"
 You said, "Just drink it up."
