Afraid of the Dark Lyrics

He tastes like a cigarette

And a liquor I can't quite place

Who knew the end of the world had

Such a friendly face

I could suck the life out of love

For another decade but

He's convinced me to stay awake and

I think it's good for a change

Been afraid of the dark

for as long as I can remember

Was I better off before

Thinking light was all that existed

I resisted the truth in all of it

That you're not coming back

And maybe I'm okay with that

I didn't know the stars at night

Still showed their light to me

I didn't know that ghosts could make

Such pleasant company

Unafraid to invite them in

Share our secrets and a drink

Oh he could kiss me goodnight

And I won't think of you when I dream

Been afraid of the dark

For as long as I can remember

I was wrong before

Thinking light was all

That existed

I resisted

The truth in all of it

That you're not coming back

And I like it like that
