Afraid of the dark, sorrow taking over
My words I can't find
I feel Im falling into madness
and don't want to fight it this time
My heart it hurts,but at times
it doesn't seem to feel at all
My mind has gone blank

All I want is to matter
I need someone to care
I went from everything to nothing
In one quick moment, is how it seems
I shut my eyes, I try to dream
But nothing is there

I have never wanted much
I can't do it anymore,on my own
The tears I can't make them stop
The numbness is growing bigger
The smiles are gone, lost in a dream
I can no longer find

I thought I was worth more
I had so much to give
but the dark consumed all I had left
Im tired now, I need someone to fight for me
I want this to go away, I fought so hard
And now I sit,alone and afraid of the dark
