[Verse 1]

There's a little house on a perfect little hill

Just short of a fairy tale

There's a little child with a million ways to feel

Caught up in a hurricane

Paper thin walls

Angry words from down the hall

Something changed them

I think about him every now and again

[Chorus]

Now there's a ghost in the back of this room

And I don't like it

I fall asleep with my covers pulled up

And try to fight it

I gotta say it's hard to be brave

When you're alone in the dark

I told myself that I wouldn't be scared

But I'm still having nightmares

(I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake)

(I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake)

I'm still having nightmares

(I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake

I'm still having nightmares)

[Verse 2]

Every little thing got me coming back around

Digging up old memories

Always used to be the one to let it go

Kept my fears in a suitcase

I locked them away

In a place they wouldn't find

They still haunt me

I think about it every now and again

[Chorus]

Now there's a ghost in the back of this room

And I don't like it

I fall asleep with my covers pulled up

And try to fight it

I gotta say it's hard to be brave

When you're alone in the dark

I told myself that I wouldn't be scared

But I'm still having nightmares

(I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake

I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake)

I'm still having nightmares

(I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake

I'm still having nightmares

I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake

I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake

I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake)

[Bridge]

Now there's a ghost in the back of this room

And I don't like it

I fall asleep with my covers pulled up

And try to fight it

[Chorus]

Now there's a ghost in the back of this room

And I don't like it

I fall asleep with my covers pulled up

And try to fight it

I gotta say it's hard to be brave

When you're alone in the dark (alone in the dark)

I told myself that I wouldn't be scared

But I'm still having nightmares

(I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake

I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake)

I'm still having nightmares

(I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake

I'm still having nightmares)

I gotta say it's hard to be brave

When you're alone in the dark (alone in the dark)

I told myself that I wouldn't be scared

But I'm still having nightmares

(I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake)
