afraid of the dark lyrics
by Xander Sallows
[Verse 1]
Why did I play with fire
When I knew it'd burn me to the ground?
Why did I call You a liar
When You spoke every truth that is to be found?
I hate the way that I'm wired
'Cause it leads me down a road of doubt
You should be all I admire
Only You can turn me back around
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I wanna turn it around
I wanna come back to You now
[Chorus]
I'm sorry
For all the times I ignored You calling
To bring me back to Your heart
I don't wanna shut You out anymore
Tell me, why did I run so far?
Now I can't see the hope that's in Your arms
No truth in sight, far from the light
Because I wasn't afraid of the dark
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I know the right thing to do
How come that's never what I choose?
Yeah, I always make thе wrong move
So sick of always havin' two sides to this coin
What would it take for mе do what brings You joy?
I wanna bring You joy
[Chorus]
I'm sorry
For all the times I ignored You calling
To bring me back to Your heart
I don't wanna shut You out anymore
Tell me, why did I run so far?
Now I can't see the hope that's in Your arms
No truth in sight, far from the light
Because I wasn't afraid of the dark
[Outro]
I wasn't afraid
I wasn't afraid
