Afraid of the Dark

He tastes like a cigarette And a liquor I can't quite place Who knew the end of the world had Such a friendly face I could suck the life out of love For another decade but He's convinced me to stay awake and I think it's good for a change Been afraid of the dark for as long as I can remember Was I better off before Thinking light was all that existed I resisted the truth in all of it That you're not coming back And maybe I'm okay with that I didn't know the stars at night Still showed their light to me I didn't know that ghosts could make Such pleasant company Unafraid to invite them in Share our secrets and a drink Oh he could kiss me goodnight And I won't think of you when I dream Been afraid of the dark For as long as I can remember I was wrong before Thinking light was all That existed I resisted The truth in all of it That you're not coming back And I like it like that
