Lyrics for Scared of the Dark
I feel just like an astronaut, about to float away Oh, I don't have much ground beneath But if you asked, then I would stay You know I'm hangin' on by a thread, starin' down forever I don't know about tomorrow, but one day, I'll be untethered, and I could stay, go through all the motions Never say, "I don't want your devotion" I'm afraid you're gonna turn the light off when you leave If you leave 'Cause I'm scared of the dark I'm scared of the part when no one else is home No, I can't be alone I'm scared of the dark And my codependent heart What made that noise? Was it a ghost? (No) I can't be alone No, I can't be alone I don't mean to be, I don't mean to be so goddamn distance Honey, you can see, honey, you can see there's somethin' missin' I hope I'm not talkin' in my sleep 'Cause I'm only ever honest in my dreams 'Cause I'm scared of the dark I'm scared of the part when no one else is home No, I can't be alone I'm scared of the dark And my codependent heart What made that noise? Was it a ghost? (No) I can't be alone (scared of the dark) (Scared of the part when no one else is home) No, I can't be alone (no, I can't, I can't be alone) I can't be alone (scared of the dark) (Scared of my codependent heart) No, I can't be alone (no, I can't, I can't be alone) I'm scared of the dark Scared of the dark, of the dark, of the dark, dark-dark-dark 'Cause I'm scared of the dark I'm scared of the part when no one else is home No, I can't be alone I'm scared of the dark And my codependent heart What made that noise? Was it a ghost? (No) Scared of the part, scared of the part When no one else is home No, I can't, I can't be alone (I can't alone) Scared of the dark Scared of my codependent heart No, no, I can't, I can't be alone
