Dare

Those were the darkest hours of them all
And I can easily say I had no love
I see myself outside it all but somehow I’m always there
'Cause all I know is what I bear

Now I dare to think of love
And now I dare to think of something that I’m not
Now I dare to think of love
And now I dare to think of something that I’m not
Now I know. Returning here
Ain’t that hard, despite my fear

I have no brightest hours to extend for you
They were so few they’re not worth mentioning anyway
You took me far too seriously
'Cause all I know is what I fear

Now I dare to think of love
And now I dare to think of something that I’m not
I can’t get you into that
You’re just fading into something that you’re not
Now I know. Returning here
Ain’t that hard, despite my fear

I swear I had ideas worth gold (now you know they were never supposed to be told)
Returning here is my ghost (now you know you were never supposed to be found)
And if I ever get old with you (it won’t happen unless you let it out)
So many years in my chest
It’s all locked. It’s all locked up in my chest

Now I dare to think of love
Now I dare to think of something that I’m not
Now I dare to make it right for once
Now I dare to think of something that I’m not
Now I know returning here
Ain’t that hard despite you’re here
Now I know returning here
Ain’t that hard despite my fear
