(Verse 1) I sit alone inside my room, Listening to the distant gloom. The hallway whispers through the door, I don’t want to check the floor. I tell myself it’s all okay, But fear won’t ever go away. I don’t know what’s hiding there, I just know I’m feeling scared. (Chorus) Why am I scared… Of the quiet in the hall? Why am I scared… Of the shadows on the wall? Why am I scared… When the night just wants to stare? Why am I scared… Tell me why I’m scared. (Verse 2) I hear footsteps passing by, I freeze up, I don’t know why. I want to leave, I want to roam, But something keeps me here at home. I’m shy, I know, I always hide, I keep my feelings deep inside. I wish that I could be prepared, But all I feel is being scared. (Chorus) Why am I scared… Of the quiet in the hall? Why am I scared… Of the shadows on the wall? Why am I scared… When the night just wants to stare? Why am I scared… Tell me why I’m scared. (Bridge) Maybe someday I’ll be brave, Step outside the room I save. Maybe fear will fade away, Maybe I’ll see a brighter day. But until then I’ll stay right here, Holding tight to every fear. Trying hard to be repaired, Even when I’m feeling scared. (Final Chorus) Why am I scared… Of the quiet in the hall? Why am I scared… Of the shadows on the wall? Why am I scared… When the night just wants to stare? Why am I scared… Tell me why I’m scared. (Outro) Maybe one day… I won’t be scared.
