Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm not afraid of the dark anymore I'm just afraid that I won't find the light I'd kill myself if you promised me heaven Because I'm just too tired to put up a fight I heard your words when I was just a boy So there's no excuse for the path that I chose So when I'm on my knees out in front of your gates Then I won't make excuses when that gate is closed [Pre-Chorus] I know I don't deserve you But I can't do this alone I'm so sick of laying here on my own [Chorus] I wish you'd carry me home Take me away from this house I hate to say this wretched man That you have made to look like you Don't look a damn thing like you now I used to smile so much But then I blocked out your son I'm just another man that's broken his own heart It's no wonder that I'm always quick to run I'm always quick to run [Verse 2] I'm gonna die in this ocean alone I lay on my back and I pray that I float I thought that I had the world on a string But now the whole world wants me hung from a rope [Pre-Chorus] I know I don't deserve you But I can't do this alone I'm so sick of laying here on my own [Chorus] I wish you'd carry me home Take me away from this house I hate to say this wretched man That you have made to look like you Don't look a damn thing like you now I used to smile so much But then I blocked out your son I'm just another man that's broken his own heart It's no wonder that I'm always quick to run I'm always quick to run [Bridge] You pumped the blood into my heart I poured out poison from my lips I'm broken down in front of you I've come to break like porcelain I hate the bastard I became Far from the man that I've become You should have left me long ago I wish that I had never run [Outro] I wish you'd carry me home Take me away from this house I hope and pray that every day This wretched man that you have saved Could start to look like you somehow
