The Dark

In my

In my memory it’s been burnt

If only

If only my dreams were filled

With all the beauty

That ordinary girls

Sing and laugh about

They sing nursery

Rhymes to show their glee

But oh not me

I’m still haunted by the shadows

That follow me

Everywhere I seem to go

I’m a grown woman

Afraid of the dark

And when

Yes when morning light comes in

I see

Yes, I see myself clearly

A little girl

Pretending to be

The mother she deserved to have

I’m afraid of the dark

(Everything will work out fine in time)

I’m still a little girl inside

(So much stronger than you think you are)

Oh, please save me tonight

(Everything will work out just fine)

I’m so afraid of the dark

I’m a grown woman

Afraid of the dark

Yes, I’m a grown woman

Afraid of the dark
