lyrics

I’m afraid of something I can’t see
I’m afraid of just being
someone I can’t help but be
but I’m trying my best to believe it

I’m afraid of what I think I need
and that fear it possesses me
so I guess that my necessities
are just things on which my fear feeds

[chorus]
sometimes it causes me
sometimes it causes me
sometimes it causes me
to tremble

alone I’m afraid of the dark
when I stand out and look at the stars
and wonder just how small we all are
and if we are really apart

I thought I could show the light
but I’m starting to doubt I was right
I can not change you you must decide
between fear and love

[chorus]

I’m afraid I’m a hypocrite
for filling your ears full of shit
preaching about all the ways
you should live
while doing none of them

I’m afraid of something I can’t see
I’m afraid of just being
someone I can’t help but be
so if you don’t like me, then leave
