In The Dark Lyrics – Selena Gomez

In The Dark Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
Here, she’s talking to someone who tries to act tough and says they don’t need anyone, especially when they’re drunk or emotional. But she can see right through that act. She knows they’re just hiding their pain and fears. She understands them deeply, maybe even better than they understand themselves. She shares their sadness and feels connected to their struggles, showing a bond that’s emotional and real.

[Pre-Chorus]
She promises to stay by their side when they feel lost or broken. She wants to remind them of their worth and who they truly are. Even in their darkest moments, she sees their beauty and won’t let them forget it.

[Chorus]
She’s expressing unconditional love here. No matter what happens, she won’t give up on them. She’ll keep loving and supporting them, but she also asks them not to turn away. When they lose themselves or feel empty, she’ll be there to help them find their strength again.

[Verse 2]
She describes an intimate and emotional closeness. Their connection is so deep that even their touch and breath feel meaningful. She admits that their struggles weigh on her too, but she’s careful and patient with their feelings. She wants to bring peace and freedom to their chaotic world. Even when they can’t sleep or feel restless, she’ll stay with them because her heart belongs where they are.

[Pre-Chorus]
Once again, she reminds them that she’ll be there whenever they feel lost. She sees their true self beyond the pain and confusion, and she’s the one who can love them completely even when everything seems dark.

[Chorus]
She repeats her devotion, showing that her love is steady and unchanging. She’ll keep giving love without expecting anything back. She doesn’t want them to look away or shut her out because she’s there to hold them up when they forget who they are.

[Bridge]
She’s asking them to open up and show their hidden side—the part they keep guarded. She promises not to run away, no matter how broken or vulnerable they are. She wants to see their real emotions and pain, showing she can handle it all. Her love is patient, fearless, and ready to embrace every part of them.

[Pre-Chorus]
She reassures them once more that she’ll always stand by them. When they lose sight of themselves, she’ll remind them of their true self. Even in darkness and sadness, she sees their light and beauty that others might miss.

[Chorus]
She ends by restating her endless love and loyalty. She won’t stop caring or walk away. Her love stays constant through every struggle, and she wants them to keep looking toward her, knowing she’ll always be there to help them remember who they are.
