I'm Not Afraid of the Dark Lyrics

I'm not afraid of the dark

I'm only scared of the shadows

Seeing people when you choose to look away

And no one's ever far enough

For me to feel safe

Why do shadows bring the darkness to the day?

A spectre drowning the light

A shape devoid of all mercy

Why do we resent the ones who die?

A shadow hanging over me

Is that where you reside?

You made me hate the ones who stand to try

I'm not afraid of the dark

I'm only scared of the shadows

Seeing people when you choose to look away

No one's ever far enough

For me to feel safe

You're the only reason I'm this way

A silhouette in the night

A fracture splitting the mirror

The shadow won't begin to fade

The darkness never goes away, no

I'm only scared of the shadows

You locked my dreams and broke the key

You're the shadow hanging over me

Step towards the light

Your darkness floods the day and makes it night

Try undo the lies

Your demons will compose what you despise

Silhouette in the night

A fracture splits the mirror of my life

I'm not afraid of the dark

I'm only scared of the shadows

Seeing people when you choose to look away

No one's ever far enough

For me to feel safe

And you're the only reason I'm this way

I'm only scared of the shadows

You locked my dreams and broke the key

You're the only reason I'm this way
