Lead Me Out of the Dark

[Intro]
Hey... yeah, I need you to hear me now
Listen up, babe, I got somethin' to say

[Verse 1]
Thank you for seein' somethin' in me, where nobody else does
For callin', wantin', pullin' me close, just because
I'm afraid of the way I feel, afraid to speak, afraid to lose
But I need you, more than the dark needs the moon

[Pre-Chorus]
Be first, lead the way, show me how love's really played
Tell me what to do, I’m lost in what I can't say
Because I'm a beast inside, no feelings, just pain
But I want your light to wash away my shame

[Chorus]
Come on, show me, I surrender, I obey
Be my guide, my angel, light up my dark day
If I tear you apart, it's just my fear inside
But I swear, I want you, I need you, I can't hide

[Bridge]
I didn’t even know I cut myself until I saw the scar
Felt it deep in the shower, now I wonder where you are
Please, take the first step, lead me out of this cage
Be the map I follow on love's endless page

[Outro]
So, be the first, and I promise, I’ll follow through
Show me love’s way, I’ll be lost with you
Don’t leave me here, I need your light to see
Just be the first, and set my heart free
