Lyrics

Tonight (I'm Afraid)

[Verse 1]

I don't really even wanna say it

Painted in the darkness, I'm afraid

Afraid, tonight

I don't even wanna say it (Say it)

I don't even wanna stay, tonight

[Pre-Chorus]

(Ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh)

(Ooh)

[Chorus]

You live with all that shame (Ahh)

It never washed away (Ahh)

You'll feel it all (Ahh)

[Verse 2]

All the things that I didn't say

Think it's best that it's left that way

Tonight, tonight

I don't even wanna say

All the cold and heartless things

Tonight

[Pre-Chorus]

(Ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh)

(Ooh)

[Chorus]

You live with all that shame (Ahh)

It never washed away (Ahh)

You'll feel it all (Ahh)

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Post-Chorus]

Know I really wanna walk away

Lying in bed wide awake

Know I really wanna walk away

See it all reflect in me

You see it, my pain (Know I really wanna walk away)

Reflected in me (Lying in bed wide awake)

At night, I beg (Know I really wanna walk away)

To forget (See it all reflect in me)

You see it, my pain (Know I really wanna walk away)

(All the shame, wide awake)

Reflected in me (Lying in bed wide awake)

(Feel it all, wash away)

At night, I beg (Know I really wanna walk away)

(All the shame, wide awake)

To forget (See it all reflect in me)

(Feel it all, wash away)

I begged, I prayed (Know I really wanna walk away)

(All the shame, wide awake)

Release me from this (Lying in bed wide awake)

(Feel it all, wash away)

I begged, I prayed (Know I really wanna walk away)

(All the shame, wide awake)

Release me from this (See it all reflect in me)

(Feel it all, wash away)
