Afraid of the Dark Lyrics

I just can't be you anymore
I just can't be you anymore
I feel you stand behind me now
Warm shaking hands take me
down, down, down, down, down

So you were somewhat unsurprised
Maybe I moved a fake and
everything to me felt just like new
If you won't see me anymore
If you won't see me anymore

I never could say who was who
I never could say who was who
You're leaving for another year
Pray that I might cry alone
through your teeth, through your tears
Stealing someone else's lie

I won't get you under no yellow sun
I'll get you in the black of night
Fire now, your bullet's gone
Fire now, your bullet's gone

This one heart's afraid of the dark
Never gonna stop, I'm never gonna conquer
Fear is running hot, my fear is forever
Darkness on everything

This one heart's afraid of the dark
Never gonna stop, I'm never gonna conquer
Fear is running hot, my fear is forever
Darkness on everything

This one heart's afraid of the dark
Never gonna stop, I'm never gonna conquer
Fear is running hot, my fear is forever
Darkness on everything

I just can't be you anymore
I just can't be you anymore
I feel you stand behind me now
Warm shaking hands take me 
down, down, down, down, down

So you were somewhat unsurprised
Maybe I moved a fake and
everything to me felt just like new
If you won't see me anymore
If you won't see me anymore

I never could say who was who
I never could say who was who
You're leaving for another year
Pray that I might cry alone
through your teeth, through your tears
Stealing someone else's lie

I won't get you under no yellow sun
I'll get you in the black of night
Fire now, your bullet's gone
Fire now, your bullet's gone

This one heart's afraid of the dark
Never gonna stop, I'm never gonna conquer
Fear is running hot, my fear is forever
Darkness on everything

This one heart's afraid of the dark
Never gonna stop, I'm never gonna conquer
Fear is running hot, my fear is forever
Darkness on everything

This one heart's afraid of the dark
Never gonna stop, I'm never gonna conquer
Fear is running hot, my fear is forever
Darkness on everything

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
