Afraid (Version 2)

[Verse 1]

I'm America's Sweetheart

Trying to get away

You make it hard to leave

But it's easier for me to stay

I am so afraid

And I've had it up to here

With the fighting, baby, we're

Not fooling anyone these days

I don't wanna stray

But boy, I'm so afraid

[Pre-Chorus]

But it's not love that keeps me here

And it's not what you want to hear

[Chorus]

So I'm going

Back to Santa Monica

New York to L.A

Never coming back, boy

No matter what you do or say

'Cause I'm so afraid

And I've had it up to here

With the panic and the fear

There's nothing in your heart

Thought that I could make you change

I'm so afraid

[Verse 2]

We were just teenagers when we fell in love

Driving in your fast car

Looking at the stars above

But it was not enough

You should never come between

A woman and her dream

And a man that never knew his place

There's no easy way

To come back from where you came

[Chorus]

So, baby, now I'm going

Back to Santa Monica

New York to L.A

Never coming back, boy

No matter what you do or say

'Cause I'm so afraid

I-I've had it up to here

With the panic and the fear

Nothing in your heart, boy

I thought that I could make you change

I'm so afraid

[Bridge]

And it's not love, it's just the fear

That you've put down for all these years

[Chorus]

But I'm leaving now

I'm going

Back to Santa Monica

New York to L.A

Never coming back, boy

No matter what you do or say

I am done being afraid

Oh, I've had it up to here

With the panic and the fear

There's nothing in your heart

I thought that I could make you change

I'm so afraid

[Outro]

Oh, it's not love that keeps me here

It's not love that keeps me here

I'm done being afraid

I'm done being afraid

Oh, oh, oh
