My Darkest Hour Lyrics
In my darkest hour I've never been
To places that today I know I've seen
And though it doesn't matter much to you
I wish you could go there too
So you could know the emptiness I feel
You're the reason why my world caved in
Just when I was breathing once again
When you think you've found the real thing
To invest emotions in
It's hard as hell to find out you were wrong
How long will this misery carry on?
My broken heart lays shattered on the floor
Can't you see you'd have been so right for me?
If I hadn't been so quick to let it show
I guess I'll never know
It's funny how vulnerable you get
And I should have seen it coming I admit
So I'll be a slave to my regret
And if I ever get over it
I won't let myself be taken in again
So sad, I've given it all I have
But I can't make you love me, that's a fact
I understand, and I wish I'd never shown my hand
But the past is done and I can't change it so
What might have been, I guess I'll never know
I'll never know
To places that today I know I've seen
And though it doesn't matter much to you
I wish you could go there too
So you could know the emptiness I feel
Just when I was breathing once again
When you think you've found the real thing
To invest emotions in
It's hard as hell to find out you were wrong
My broken heart lays shattered on the floor
Can't you see you'd have been so right for me?
If I hadn't been so quick to let it show
I guess I'll never know
And I should have seen it coming I admit
So I'll be a slave to my regret
And if I ever get over it
I won't let myself be taken in again
But I can't make you love me, that's a fact
I understand, and I wish I'd never shown my hand
But the past is done and I can't change it so
What might have been, I guess I'll never know
I'll never know

Luke Morley:
"This song is unlike anything we’ve ever done before. It’s very simple musically in that it consists only of one acoustic guitar, cello and voice. It’s a melancholy song about regret and not being able to change mistakes made in the past. Quick, pass the Kleenex."
This is a brilliant song, one one that they really do well live.
