Lyrics

I'm scared to sleep, I'm scared to dream
I'm scared to wake up in case I scream
I'm scared to whisper one word
That's all it needs

I hear it breathe, I hear it sigh
I hear it laughing when something dies
I hear it calling
But I'm too scared to move

I'm so scared
I can't breathe
I'm so scared
I just can't breathe

I'm scared to look, I'm scared to see
I'm scared of mirrors in case it's me
I'm scared of memories
But now that's all I have

So I can't leave and no-one comes
So no-one noticed that I've come undone
I'd hide in shadows
But the shadows talk to me

I'm so scared
I can't breathe
I'm so scared
I just can't breathe
