Hard to stay awake, I´m so exhausted
Hard to keep a friend, I guess I’m catious
Hide the pain inside, I don´t endorse it
I can´t even cry, I guess I’ll force it

[PreChorus 1]
Funny when my head caved in, I thought I´d lost it
Might have had a date with death, I guess I dodged it
I don´t want want to feel this pain, I don´t like distance
I don´t wanna leave this place if you´re not with us

Please don´t leave this house, I don´t like darkness
I don’t wanna see you out, I don’t like darkness
Hate it when I close my eyes, I don´t like darkness
I don’t wanna go outside, I don´t like darkness

Darkness to the light, I´ll be forever gracious
Grey in your eyes, your soul must be silver plated
Though we don´t talk, I’ll miss our conversations
I fall apart, you fill up the empty spaces

[PreChorus 2]
Funny, now the rain comes down, I sit and watch it
Every time I hear that sound, I get nostalgic
I don´t wanna feel this pain, I don´t like distance
Even if you leave this place, your spirit´s with us

Please don´t leave this house, I don´t like darkness

I don´t wanna see you out, I don´t like darkness
Hate it when I close my eyes, I don´t like darkness
I don´t wanna go outside, I don´t like darkness

I don´t want to leave this place if you´re not with us
(Darkness to the light, I´ll be forever gracious
Grey in your eyes, your soul must be silver plated
Though we don´t talk, I´ll miss our conversations)
I fall apart, you fill up the empty spaces
I don´t want to leave this place if you´re not with us
