Lyrics

Afraid

[Verse 1]

Do you, do you wanna bleed?

Do you wanna live, to live here in vain?

Do you believe? Or are you afraid?

Afraid of some change?

[Chorus 1]

It's only life

She's so afraid to kiss

And so afraid to laugh

Is she running from her past?

It's only life

She's so afraid of love

And so afraid of hate

But it's only life

[Verse 2]

Do you, do you wanna scream?

Do you wanna face, to face the strange?

Do you believe? Or are you afraid?

Afraid of some change?

[Chorus 1]

It's only life

She's so afraid to kiss

And so afraid to laugh

Is she running from her past?

It's only life

She's so afraid of love

And so afraid of hate

But it's only life

[Bridge]

So insecure

There is no cure

[Chorus 2]

It's only life

She's so afraid of it

And so afraid to ask

She's hiding behind her mask

And it's only life

She's so afraid of pain

And so afraid of blame

It's only life

[Outro]

She, she's so afraid

Afraid to lose, afraid of the fame

And still everyday, she still feels the same

It's only life
