Afraid of the Dark

I'm not afraid of the dark
I'm not afraid of the dark
But I'm afraid of the shadows
Put an arrow in this heart

I'm not afraid of the words
Although they said they would hurt
But I'm afraid of the silence
The silence says it's my curse

I'm not afraid that you will (hugs and kisses are sweet)
I'm just afraid that you won't (stay, stay with me)
And I just hope that you're coming (come back to me)
I'll suffocate if you don't

These hours, these hours
These waking hours
These times, these times
If I could slow down the time
These nights, these nights
Between the spaces we lie
The moon cries out
"Just slow down the time"
You know, you know
As well and her and I
You've got to be cruel
To be kind

I took my bones to your door
You'd left a note on the floor
I said "how could you be so reckless?
But you don't care anymore

A trick a treat and gun
They call it games where you're from
I'll taste the poison in your kisses
And I'll be dead when you're done

He said he likes to be known (known to be known)
But no one's gone where he's going (he goes alone)
You'll have me feeling so lovely
Then leave me feeling alone

These hours, these hours
These waking hours
These times, these times
If I could slow down the time
These nights, these night
Between the spaces we lie
The moon cries out
"Just slow down the time"
You know, you know
As well and her and I
You've got to be cruel
To be kind

These hours, these hours
These waking hours
These times, these times
If I could slow down the time
These nights, these nights
Between the spaces we lie
The moon cries out
"Just slow down the time"
You know, you know
As well and her and I
You've got to be cruel
To be kind
