Dark and Scary Places


Never thought we were both lying
Although I must have known somehow
Knew all along I wasn't buying
Convinced myself that all was fine

Time never leaves us just behind
It scars along the way
And, you know, scars are not so scary
When you're inside a dream

Couldn't help you stop your crying
Helping out felt so alone
Guess I should thank you all for trying
Because you made me come alive
But since I since I watched you inside dying
Life's been coming back again

You know dark and scary places
Where winter overrules
Got a glimpse of empty coldness
And it chilled me to the bone

Remember when we were both flying
Lay me down and don't get up
Now I'm done with all the why-ing
Answers on a postcard please
Got so fed up with all the sighing
Just realised - don't give a fuck

Didn't know
Didn't know
Didn't know
Didn't know I gave you up
