I'm not afraid of the dark, but I used to be That little kid hiding under covers, everytime the lights turned out That was then this is now, and the monsters ain't in the closet The stuff that scares me most, is hiding right outside my front door I've grown up and gotten stronger, but my problems got bigger too Days go by I'm brought to realize that I'll never stop needing you So I bow my head and say my prayers, I'm asking you for strength I can't make it on my own, there ain't no way Father Used to run far from home, when life got too hard Retreat to that treeline down the road, under a night sky full of stars Man I've come so far, don't even live in that house anymore If I'm being honest, I'm still running in my heart All those nights, you held me tight I still need to feel you near me All those days, I ran away You were waiting right there on me
