Text: Vanessa Carlton. Dark Carnival.

You never thought it'd hurt so bad
Bring me a remedy
You never thought it'd hurt so bad
Never thought it'd feel so right
Bringing you to your knees
Never thought it'd feel so right

It's the edge of the dawn
When she looks in your eyes
And she wants what is hers
Before the light

And she runs on her own
And you'll hurt before you know
Not a sweet alibi
When you get your bloody dose
In the still of the night
It is there you'll feel it most
In this dark carnival
Where the end is close

(I'll tell you it won't hurt)
Never thought i'd hurt so bad
Funny how the story ends
Remember the beginning
Funny how the story ends
Should never have looked so close
(Should never have looked so close)
I can see all your cracks
Should never have looked so close

It's the edge of the dawn
When she looks in your eyes
And she wants
What is hers
Before the light
And she runs on her own
And you'll hurt before you know
Not a sweet alibi

When you get your bloody dose
In the still of the night
It is there you'll feel it most
In this dark carnival
Where the end is close

[laughter]
...and we'll fight to the death
(Tell me it won't hurt)
...everyone has an hour
...and the weapons
(Tell me it won't hurt)
...so we'll fight to the death
...now it is final
(Tell me it won't hurt)
...for what?
(Tell me it won't hurt)
...who knows?
Tell me it won't...

And she runs on her own
And you'll hurt before you know
Not a sweet alibi
When you get your bloody dose
In the still of the night (of the night)
It is there you'll feel it most
In this dark carnival
Where the end is close

Tell me it won't hurt
(I'll tell you it wont hurt)
Give me a remedy
Give me a remedy
I'll tell you it wont hurt
I'll tell you it wont hurt
