I was standing on the edge of something real
But every time I felt it getting close
I would turn around and disappear
Before my heart could show
You saw the silence in my eyes
You heard the words I couldn't say
But every time you reached for me
I slowly walked away
It wasn't you I was afraid of
It was everything I felt
Loving you meant opening the parts I always kept
Hidden in the dark
Hidden in the dark
I was running from the truth (truth)
Even when I needed you (you)
Every road I tried to take
Was leading back to you
I was hiding from the light
Of something strong and true
But every beat inside my chest
Was always choosing you
It wasn't you I was afraid of
It was everything I felt
Loving you meant opening the parts I always kept
Hidden in the dark
Hidden in the dark
I was running from the truth (truth)
Even when I needed you (you)
Every road I tried to take
Was leading back to you
I was hiding from the light
Of something strong and true
But every beat inside my chest
Was always choosing you
It wasn't you I was afraid of
It was everything I felt
Loving you meant opening the parts I always kept
Hidden in the dark
Hidden in the dark
