lyrics

Sometimes I cry just outside the sanctuary doors
Back up and hide while I listen to the people talk
And I wonder how you can be so close and not hear
And I wonder why God has put me here
Am I alone, I feel alone

Sometimes I reach out my hands
And I wait for you to pick me up
I'm never sure exactly what I want
But it's got something to do with your arms
And I don't know why I'd trust a stranger like you with my heart
But I'm afraid I'm falling back into the dark

And I need you more than I ever have before
And I need you, I'm stuck in a room without a door
And I need you to be everything I never had
And I need you to fill the silence

I'm a scared little girl afraid of the dark thunderstorms
I've been hiding under the cover of a smiling face
And I'm trying to satisfy a deeper hunger
But I've not a thing to eat

Sometimes I'm afraid to look into your eyes
What would you think of my anxiety, Can you tell I'm shaking
I don't know how to say what's on my mind
I try to let it go, but it's the hundredth time I tried
I don't even know who I am talking to besides the wall
And I'm afraid I'm falling back into the dark

And I need you more than I ever have before
And I need you, I'm stuck in a room without a door
And I need you to be everything I never had
And I need you to fill the silence

Can I lean on you, the hands and feet of God
Before I fall into another spell of the dark
It feels like I've been thrown up against a brick wall
I'm scared that I'm not strong enough to play my part

Sometimes I wish I wasn't here
I'm petrified and paralyzed by fear
I've become afraid of my own mind
I need somebody else sometimes
