I'm afraid of standing in front of a crowd and letting all the people down I’m afraid of mediocrity and that you might give up on me
I'm afraid I’ll disappoint my dad His silence is the loudest sound I'm even afraid of the dark sometimes my imagination’s wild
Maybe that's the reason why it’s hard to say forever babe I can see 10 years from now, but tomorrow's unclear I get so afraid Sometimes that I won’t know what to do But I’m not afraid to love you I’m not afraid to love you
I'm afraid I’ll have to compromise And not see my dreams come to pass I hate to make my mother cry, which I've done too many times I’m afraid of walking down that aisle but I don’t know why, I can’t say why I'm afraid you give way too much to us and I never give enough
I’m afraid to talk on the phone today I might be playing it way too safe I'm afraid of someone hurting you when I’m a million miles away And for my brother's gentle soul in a violent world in a violent war I'm afraid I've pushed too hard in life and I've missed the point of it all
