Anna sits in the corner
She doesn't answer the phone
Time keeps slipping away
While she's staring at the wall
There's just no way
To put down in words
How she felt that day
When the doctor told her about the end of her world
Anna hides in the corner
But no one hears her cry
And all the dreams she carried inside keep on falling from her eyes
All that she's thinking
It's just not fair
That the world will keep on turning
And she won't be there
She's afraid of the dark
That's why she stays awake
Every night is tearing her apart
She's afraid of the dark
That's why she stays awake
To fall asleep might mean to fall apart
And never wake up again
Anna looks out the window
It's a beautiful day
Kids are playing outside
But nothing's the same
She knows they'll still be there
When she's already gone
She whispers a prayer
'Please don't let me fade into oblivion'
She's afraid of the dark
That's why she stays awake
Every night is tearing her apart
She's afraid of the dark
That's why she stays awake
To fall asleep might mean to fall apart
And never wake up again
