There's a little house on a perfect little hill
Just short of a fairytale
There's a little child with a million ways to feel
Caught up in a hurricanePaper-thin walls
Angry words from down the hall
Something changed then
I think about him every now and againNow there's a ghost in the back of this room
And I don't like it
I fall asleep with my covers pulled up
And try to fight it
I gotta say it's hard to be brave
When you're alone in the dark
I told myself that I wouldn't be scared
But I'm still having nightmares
I'm still having nightmares (but I'm still having nightmares)Never did I think I'd be coming back around
Digging up old memories
Always used to be the one to let it go
Kept my fears in a suitcaseI locked them all away
In a place I wouldn't find
They still haunt me
I think about it every now and againNow there's a ghost in the back of this room
And I don't like it
I fall asleep with my covers pulled up
And try to fight it
I gotta say it's hard to be brave
When you're alone in the dark
I told myself that I wouldn't be scared
But I'm still having nightmares
I'm still having nightmares (but I'm still having nightmares)Now there's a ghost in the back of this room
And I don't like it
I fall asleep with my covers pulled up
And try to fight itNow there's a ghost in the back of this room
And I don't like it
I fall asleep with my covers pulled up
And try to fight it
I gotta say it's hard to be brave
When you're alone in the dark
I told myself that I wouldn't be scared
But I'm still having nightmares
I'm still having nightmares (but I'm still having nightmares)I gotta say it's hard to be brave
When you're alone in the dark
I told myself that I wouldn't be scared
But I'm still having nightmares
