I am afraid of the
dark
I am afraid of the
day
                                                                   I am afraid to
      walk outside
 And of
                                      what people say
 
 
I am afraid to   drink too much   Because of  what I might do
 
I am afraid to
speak my mind
                                                                And of being
                                                   ridiculed
 
 
 
It's not that I'm not strong
It's just that I'm not strong
enough for you
It's not that I'm not brave
It's just that I'm not brave
enough for you
 
 
 
I am afraid to be
unloved
 
                                               I am afraid to be
                                                                              forsaken
 
I am afraid of
doing wrong
         And to
            never be forgiven
 
 
 
I am afraid that you will find, I'm not the man you think I am
 
 
                                          I am afraid to
                                                       be on my own
 
         And of
   the unknown
 
 
 
It's not that I'm not strong
It's just that I'm not strong
enough for you
It's not that I'm not brave
It's just that I'm not brave
enough for you
 
 
 
 
 
Ever since I
Was a small child
I can not sleep at night
Without the light on
 
 
 
 
 
 
I am afraid to
laugh out loud
Or to stand out of the crowd
 
 
              I am scared of
       loving you

            I am scared to
                lose you

I am afraid to
lose control
                        I am afraid of
                                 growing old
 
 
I am afraid to
die
But it's something I must do
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It's not that I'm not strong
It's just that I'm not strong
enough for you
 
 
It's not that I'm not brave
It's just that I'm not brave
It's just that I'm not brave
It's just that I'm not brave
 *
enough for two
