Lyrics
You're from the dark, I'm from the light
You come from a negative or challenging background, while I come from a positive or bright one.
I knew that you weren't worth the fight
I realized that engaging in a conflict with you wasn't worthwhile.

So I could get a good night's rest
Expressing my feelings allowed me to have a peaceful night's sleep.
