More Afraid of Being Alone

I thought I feared the dark

I thought I feared the dark

One old room

One old room

Four of us asleep

Four of us asleep

Outside the window

Outside the window

The night felt too deep

The night felt so deep

I'd run back in

I'd run back in

And see everyone there

And see everyone there

Nothing had changed

Nothing had changed

But I could breathe

But I could breathe again

The dark stayed dark

The darkness remained dark

I just wasn't alone

I simply wasn’t alone

I thought I was afraid of ghosts

I thought I was afraid of ghosts

I was more afraid of being alone

I was more afraid of being alone

The night didn't change

The night didn't change

The fear didn't go

The fear didn't go

I just needed someone close

I just needed someone close

I thought I was afraid of ghosts

I thought I was afraid of ghosts

I was more afraid of being alone

I was more afraid of being alone

No one had to wake

No one had to wake

No one had to speak

No one had to speak

Knowing you were there

Just knowing that you were there

Was enough for me

Was enough for me

Maybe safety

Perhaps safety

Is smaller than we think

Is smaller than we imagine

Sometimes it's just

Sometimes it is simply

Another breath in the room

Another breath in the room

I thought I was afraid of ghosts

I thought I was afraid of ghosts

I was more afraid of being alone

I was more afraid of being alone

The night didn't change

The night didn't change

The fear didn't go

The fear didn't go

I just needed someone close

I just needed someone close

I thought I was afraid of ghosts

I thought I was afraid of ghosts

I was more afraid of being alone

I was more afraid of being alone

I don't miss the walls

I don’t miss those walls

I miss what they held

I miss what those walls held

I thought I was afraid of ghosts

I thought I was afraid of ghosts

I was more afraid of being alone

I was more afraid of being alone

Maybe the dark

Perhaps the darkness

Doesn't have to disappear

Does not need to disappear

Maybe all we need

Perhaps all we need

Is someone still there

Is for someone to still be there

I thought I was afraid of ghosts

I thought I was afraid of ghosts

I was more afraid of being alone

I was more afraid of being alone

More afraid of being alone

More afraid of being alone
