[Verse 1]
I am just a thought
A dark space in your mind
I’m where evil goes to dwell
When you can’t find the sunshine
I’m a hero among villains
I’m a needle in the vein
I’m the very thing they give to you to make you go insane

[Verse 2]
I am just a feeling
Of nothing at all
I am simply a nerve ending
And Pain is what I’m called
If you hear me talking
Just push me way down
Til you no longer hear my awful sound

[Chorus]
So let me shield you from the rain
I’m not even you, and yet we look the same
I know this place, yes, I know where you are
And it made me scared of the dark

[Verse 3]
I am just an idea
A product of shame
Well, I’m never good enough
And I’m always to blame
I wish I wasn’t ugly
I wish I wasn’t born
Wish I could take it back ‘cause all it left was scars
[Chorus]
So let me shield you from the rain
I’m not even you, and yet we look the same
I know this place, yes, I know where you are
And it made me scared of the dark

[Verse 4]
I am here to help
I’m just something that you need
I’m a voice of forgiveness
Here to shine when days are bleak
Times they are a changing
Today begins an age
Tomorrow will be better than all your yesterdays

[Chorus]
So let me shield you from the rain
Oh, I’m not even you, and yet we look the same
I know this place, yes, I know where you are
And it made me scared of the dark
