lyrics

BEING AFRAID
Ed Ou / Jay Clementi

Some people don’t know why
I hide from the fourth of July
Dogs barking, thunder and lightning
My body shocks like a Gaza air strike
I try and I try to act like I’m alright

I’m just tired of being afraid
Afraid I’ll make another mistake
Afraid there’s more hearts than mine I’ll break
When I show the world the truth
I don’t want what I do
To paralyze every move I make
I’m just tired
Of being afraid

I locked my emotions down
And lost the key so they never get out
I keep running to the hurt
Free myself from the past but it never really works
It never really works

I’m just tired of being afraid
Afraid I’ll make another mistake
Afraid there’s more hearts than mine I’ll break
When I show the world the truth
I don’t want what I do
To paralyze every move I make
I’m just tired of being afraid
Being afraid
Being afraid
Being afraid

It’s ok to not to be ok
Being propped up between good and evil
Love and hate
Love and hate

I’m just tired of being afraid
Afraid I’ll make another mistake
Afraid there’s more hearts than mine I’ll break
When I show the world the truth
I don’t want what I do
To paralyze every move I make
I’m just tired of being afraid
Being afraid
Being afraid
Being afraid
