Scared of the Dark Lyrics

[Intro]
I’m used to the dark
I’ve been here before
But I’m finding it hard
Cause it’s worse than before
Things used to be bright
When you were mine
But I’ll be alright
I’m just taking my time

[Verse 1]
Tryna keep strong but it’s difficult
Tryna move on but it’s difficult
I don’t understand why it’s difficult
It’s turning me cynical
Making me critical
Every syllable hurts
Overthinking the worst
It burns my brain when Im trying to sleep
And every week I struggle to eat
And I pray yeah yeah
Every day yeah yeah
I’ll be okay yeah
Cos I can’t take this pain
And I cry yeah yeah
Every night yeah yeah
But I’ll try yeah yeah
Cos I don’t wanna die yet
[Chorus]
What am I missing
I’m sitting here listening to sad songs with the lights off
Am I wrong so wrong to wait this long for someone
Listening to sad song with the lights off

[Verse 2]
You know I’m not finding it easy
No one ever said it’d ever be easy
I don’t wanna sound needy
But honestly its driving me crazy
Its on my mind on the daily
One of these days yeah its gonna break me
No I know nothing can save me
Yeah nothing can save me

[Verse 3]
This mess that we’ve made
The same old mistakes
Heartbreak and high stakes
I guess we both changed
And it’s been hard lately
But this is what you made me
Memory hazy
Tell me baby
[Chorus]
What am I missing
I’m sitting here listening to sad songs with the lights off
Am I wrong so wrong to wait this long for someone
Listening to sad song with the lights off

[Verse 4]
Suffering in silence
You never see me smiling
It’s fucking with my mind and
I’m running out of time and
I lie and say I’m fine and
I’m not fucking fine cos
I crossed the fucking line yeah
One step at a time yeah

Suffering in silence
You never see me smiling
It’s fucking with my mind and
I’m running out of time and
I lie and say I’m fine and
I’m not fucking fine cos
I crossed the fucking line yeah
One step at a time yeah

Now I’m scared of the dark
Cos I’ve been here before
[Chorus]
What am I missing
I’m sitting here listening to sad songs with the lights off
Am I wrong so wrong to wait this long for someone
Listening to sad song with the lights off

[Chorus]
What am I missing
I’m sitting here listening to sad songs with the lights off
Am I wrong so wrong to wait this long for someone
Listening to sad song with the lights off

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
