Darkness falls around me
Forbidding me to see
No way out, no glimpse of hope
Could this really be it for me?
I'd have no fairytale ending
My dreams had never come true.
There's a flicker of light in the darkness
And somehow I knew it was you.
The darkness still hovered there
Refusing to let me go
Holding me back from running to you
The darkness ran this show.
It turned me into this...
The darkness made me this way
Broke me down piece by piece
Then reshaped me as if I were clay.
My thinking was a different now
My thoughts were not my own
The only thing that saved me
Was knowing I wasn't alone.
Your light still shining in the distance
Though it seemed further away now.
I wanted to find my way out of the darkness
But I didn't know how.
Days, weeks, months-
Time passed by in a blur,
How long had I been here?
I couldn't really be sure.
Getting ready to accept my fate
That I forever belong to the night.
Your light nearing on the horizon
Oh, it glowed so very bright.
A beacon of hope, coming closer and closer
Maybe this wasn't all there was for me.
I was going to escape the darkness
I was finally going to be free.
Here it was, that little light
I'd noticed all that time ago
Right here, in front of me
As if it came to say hello.
It's like it was calling out to me
Welcoming me to the light.
Ashamed of who I'd become
I was overcome with fright.
I tried to step out of the darkness
Although I wasn't sure I was ready to
A small force was holding me back
Yet I still reached out for you.
The light that flickered in the darkness
The one that never let me feel alone
The light that was just in front of me
But now that light is gone.
