Are you scared of the dark like I am?
When I walk in the shadows, could you guide my hand?
When you're scared of your thoughts, do you fight them?
When I scream at the voices, could you help me shush them?
I know the pain in your heart, babe
You can tell me when you're suffering
But I'm scared you won't ever know me
Until you've been down on my knees

I wish you could meet who I used to be
Before the wounds and abuse of nicotine
Back when the sun would shine
When I was afraid to die
I wish you could meet him
I wish I could be him

Are you scared of the dark like I am?
When I walk in the shadows, could you guide my hand?
When you're scared of your thoughts, do you fight them?
When I scream at the voices, could you help me shush them?
I know the pain in your heart, babe
You can tell me when you're suffering
But I'm scared you won't ever know me
Until you've been down on my knees
