Sarah and the Safe Word
Lucinda Walsh
[Intro]
I fell in love with a shadow
Stitched up to a boy
And couldn't reconcile his smile
With the things he would destroy
He had a flicker and a flame
And a dust behind his eyes
He carried me through clouds
And dropped me into empty skies

[Verse 1]
Ever creeping
Always sneaking around the corner
I lock the doors behind me
After I walk through
Tracked your trail
You're chasing tail, I'm getting warmer
Closer to the truth
But far away from you

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to keep your light
From fading out

[Chorus]
I'm so scared the darkest side of you
It's the only side of you I ever knew
I ever knew
I'm so scared the darkest side of you
It's the only side of you I ever knew
I ever knew
[Verse 2]
Well I'm not sleeping
Hear your breathing in the next room
I know you're not alone
(I know you're not alone)

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to keep your light
From fading out

[Chorus]
I'm so scared the darkest side of you
It's the only side of you I ever knew
I ever knew
I'm so scared the darkest side of you
It's the only side of you I ever knew
I ever knew

[Bridge]
I fell in love with a shadow
Stitched up to a boy
And couldn't reconcile his smile
With the things he would destroy
He had a flicker and a flame
And a dust behind his eyes
He carried me through clouds
And dropped me into empty skies
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to keep your light
From fading out
You run into the night
Won't save you now

[Chorus]
I'm so scared the darkest side of you
It's the only side of you I ever knew
I ever knew
And I'm so scared the darkest side of you
It's the only side of you I ever knew
I ever knew

I'm so scared the darkest side of you
It's the only side of you I ever knew
I ever knew
I'm so scared the darkest side of you
It's the only side of you I ever knew
I ever knew
I'm so scared the darkest side of you
It's the only side of you I ever knew
I ever knew

[Outro]
I'm so scared the darkest side of you
It's the only side of you I ever knew
I ever knew
