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
