Scared of the Dark

Em Beihold

I feel just like an astronaut about to float away

Oh, I don't have much ground beneath

But if you asked, then I would stay

You know I'm hangin' on by a thread, starin' down forever

I don't know about tomorrow, but one day I'll be untethered and

I could stay, go through all the motions

Never say, "I don't want your devotion" (Ah-ah)

I'm afraid you're gonna turn the light off when you leave

If you leave (Ah-ah-ah)

'Cause I'm scared of the dark

I'm scared of the part when no one else is home

No, I can't be alone

I'm scared of the dark

And my codependent heart

What made that noise? Was it a ghost? (No)

I can't be alone

No, I can't be alone

I don't mean to be, I don't mean to be so goddamn distant

I know you can see, I know you can see there's somethin' missin'

I hope I'm not talkin' in my sleep

'Cause I'm only ever honest in my dreams

'Cause I'm scared of the dark

I'm scared of the part when no one else is home

No, I can't be alone

I'm scared of the dark

And my codependent heart

What made that noise? Was it a ghost? (No)

I can't be alone

(Scared of the dark, scared of the part when no one else is home)

No, I can't be alone (No, I can't, I can't be alone)

I can't be alone (Scared of the dark, scared of my codependent heart, oh)

No, I can't be alone (Oh, I can't, I can't be alone)

Ah (Ah), ah (Ah), ah (Ah), ah (Ah), ah (Ah), ah (Ah), ah (Ah), ah

(I'm scared of the dark, scared of the dark)

(Ah) Ah (Ah), ah (Ah), ah (Ah), ah (Ah), ah (Ah), ah—

(Of the dark, of the dar-dar-dar-dar—)

'Cause I'm scared of the dark

I'm scared of the part when no one else is home

No, I can't be alone

I'm scared of the dark

And my codependent heart

What made that noise? Was it a ghost? (No)

I can't be alone

(Scared of the dark, scared of the part when no one else is home)

No, I can't be alone (No, I can't, I can't be alone)

I can't be alone (Scared of the dark, scared of my codependent heart, oh)

No, I can't be alone (Oh, I can't, I can't be alone)
