Sophie Hunter – Darkroom (Lyrics & Video)

Darkroom – Sophie Hunter Lyrics

I learned to be a human

From behind the one-way glass

Perfect class

I never had to touch a thing

Just give a tap

Watched you living life so fast

While I stayed sat and

I couldn’t tell you

Which side the trap was

Only that I always followed after

Only that I lived for your reaction

Only that you kept changing the password

What I wouldn’t do for you

To let me be the answer

In the darkroom

I develop

Oh the chemicals

Will work

If I just let them

In the red I

Look like the devil

I’d do anything

To get onto

Your lеvel

I like the dark

It’s thе way that I feel

I like the smoke

It’s the way that I heal

I like to sit back and pretend

I never met you

But it doesn’t feel real

I’m still carrying the faces

That you couldn’t conceal

There's a

Before and after you

Splitting my years

How does it feel

To be a Christlike figure

Guess you figured

Guess you knew exactly

What it meant

You got the picture

Guess that’s what

You saw in me

You needed someone sicker

In the darkroom

I develop

Oh the chemicals

Will work

If I just let them

In the red I

Look like the devil

I’d do anything

To get onto

Your level

I kept it pushing

When you pulled away

I kept it moving

When you couldn’t

Find the words to say

I kept every piece of

The life that you imprinted

There was nothing left of me

I’m still bleeding out all your ink

And I don’t want you back

There is no back

I’m still here

You turned the corner

I hold your place like a dog ear

I want to warn her

The child that I was that year

You met me

I reach for myself

And come back empty

In the darkroom

I develop

Oh the chemicals

Will work

If I just let them

In the red I

Look like the devil

I’d do anything

To get onto

Your level

Every evening

I’m no better

I am shrinking

Just to capture

Your impression

You look clearer

In my edit

I am proof of

All the light

Inside the negative
