[Intro]

Careful what you might wish in your darkest hour

When rays of light are so hard to find

Careful where you might go when you’re in despair

And only darkness is left behind

And only darkness is left behind

Oh-oh

And only darkness is left behind

[Verse 1]

Hearts turn hollow

As fear and sorrow

Will take away

All that we have

Then we become so cold

When we’re alone

And everything that we once were

Is gone

Then we can overcome

[Chorus]

I feel a change as dreams wash away in tears

(When rays of light are so hard to find)

There is a faith in me far away

(And only darkness is left behind)

[Verse 2]

I tried so hard to be the one that’s good

I tried so hard to be the one that’s fine

That I forgot

To be the one that’s real

[Verse 3]

Careful what you might wish in your darkest hour

When rays of light are so hard to find

Careful where you might go when you’re in despair

And only darkness is left behind

[Chorus]

I feel a change as dreams wash away in tears

(When rays of light are so hard to find)

There is a faith in me far away

(And only darkness is left behind)

[Bridge]

(Ah)

As I felt my heart beat inside

And in the distance their voices chime

The tears inside I could sacrifice (oh-oh)

A prophecy to fulfil in time

[Final Chorus]

I feel a change as dreams wash away in tears

(When rays of light are so hard to find)

There is a faith in me far away

(And only darkness is left behind in time)

[Break]

Guide me back to life

Oh-oh

Guide me back to life

[Outro]

Careful what you might wish in your darkest hour

When rays of light are so hard to find

Careful where you might go when you’re in despair

And only darkness is left behind
