‌afraid of the dark (remix) lyrics

[Intro: Xander Sallows]
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

[Verse 1: Xander Sallows]
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: Xander Sallows]
Oh, I wanna turn it around
I wanna come back to You now

[Chorus: Xander Sallows]
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: Xander Sallows]
Yeah, I know the right thing to do
How come that's never what I choose?
Yeah, I always make the wrong move
So sick of always having two sides to this coin
What would it take for me do what brings You joy?
I wanna bring You joy

[Verse 3: Sam Bowman]
Is this fine or is it stupid?
Did you find love or just lose it?
Did you wind up in the sewer?
Drive your body like your hubris?
I was mindless, I was clueless
I was lyin' and I knew it
I was blinded to the truth
I need Messiah to renew me
I'm just waitin' for the dawn that I doubt would ever come
And I've been waitin' for so long that my heart forgot its song
Don't deserve a second chance, and much less a second heart
But you gave my eyes a glance of salvation from the dark

[Chorus: Xander Sallows]
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 (I don't wanna shut You out, shut You out, out)
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: Sam Bowman & Xander Sallows]
Oh, I wasn't afraid (Afraid of the dark)
Oh, I wasn't afraid (Afraid of the dark)
