“Dark Times” recruits English pop star Ed Sheeran as the pair sing of the addictions they fall into during their respective depressions – acting as a warning sign for women to stay away.[Verse 1: Ed Sheeran]

Wakin' up, half-past five

Blood on pillow and one bruised eye

Drunk too much, you know what I'm like

But you shoulda seen the other guy

[Pre-Chorus: Ed Sheeran]

This ain't the right time for you to fall in love with me

Well, baby, I'm just bein' honest

And I know my lies could not make you believe

We're runnin' in circles, that's why

[Chorus: Ed Sheeran]

In my dark time, I'll be goin' back to the street

Promisin' everything I do not mean

In my dark time, baby, this is all I could be

And only my mother can love me for me

In my dark time

In my dark time

[Verse 2: The Weeknd]

Light one up, let me bum a smoke, uh

Still comin' down, drippin' throat, uh

I got another man's blood on my clothes

But it ain't his fault, it's the life I chose

[Pre-Chorus: The Weeknd]

This ain't the right time for you to fall in love with me

My baby, I'm just bein' honest, uh

And I know my lies could never make you believe

Runnin' in circles, that's why

[Chorus: The Weeknd]

In my dark times, I'll be going back to these streets

Promising everything I do not mean

In my dark times, maybe this is all I could be

Only my mother could love me for me

In my dark times

In my dark times

[Bridge: Ed Sheeran & The Weeknd]

In my dark times, I've still got some problems, I know

Drivin' too fast but just movin' too slow

And I've got something I've been tryin' to let go of

Pullin' me back every time

[Chorus: Ed Sheeran & The Weeknd]

In my dark time, takin' it back to the street

Makin' those promises that I could not keep

In my dark times, baby, this is all I could be

Only my mother could love me for me

In my dark time, takin' it down to the street

Makin' those promises that I would never keep

In my dark time, this is all I could be

Only my mother could love me for me

In my dark times

In my dark time

In my dark times
