To Fall Asleep Might Mean to Fall Apart Lyrics

anna sits in the corner
she doesn?t answer the phone
time keeps slipping away
while she?s staring at the wall
there's just no way
to put down in words
how she felt that day
when the doctor told her about the end of her world

anna hides in the corner
but no one hears her cry
and all the dreams she carried inside
keep on falling from her eyes
all that she's thinking
it's just not fair
kids are playing outside
but nothing's the same

she knows they'll still be there
when she's already gone
she whispers a prayer
'please don't let me fade into oblivion'
she's afraid of the dark
that's why she stays awake
every night is tearing her apart
she's afraid of the dark
that's why she stays awake
to fall asleep might mean to fall apart
