Afraid

Lyrics

Uh
 What they say? What they say? What they say?
 What they say? What they say? What they say?
 You speak out, all you feel is defiance
 All you need is some self-reliance
 'Cause this world is gonna always try us
 And all you wanted was to run for cover
 Well here's looking to yourself and no other
 We're all searching for that special something
 And we keep on running
 We all have the choice to take the lead or follow
 I want to feel the light shine on me
 You're so afraid of what people might say
 But that's okay 'cause you're only human
 You're so afraid of what people might say
 But that's okay, you'll soon get strong enough
 You're so afraid of what people might say
 But that's okay 'cause you're only human
 You're so afraid of what people might say
 You're going to break so please, don't do it
 You wanna spread your wings but you're not sure
 Don't wanna leave your comforts, wanna find a cure
 We're afraid of who we see in the mirror
 We wanna let go but it feels too pure
 Who wants to be alone in this world?
 You look around and all you see is hurt
 But the light, it always finds us
 If we move with a little trust
 We all have the choice to take the lead or follow
 I want to feel the light shine on me
 You're so afraid of what people might say
 But that's okay 'cause you're only human
 You're so afraid of what people might say
 But that's okay, you'll soon get strong enough
 You're so afraid of what people might say
 But that's okay 'cause you're only human
 You're so afraid of what people might say
 You're going to break so please, don't do it
 A diamond don't define what shine is
 I don't need a Rolex to know what the time is
 You got yours, let me find what mines is
 I'm a survivor, look how strong my mind is
 I stand on my own, it's all me
 Regardless of whatever they call me
 I'm a leader not a follower
 And I'd rather be paid than popular
 Grind homie, get your dollars up
 We're in the belly of the beast that already swallowed us
 It's the end of the world and we know it all
 ♪
 It's the end of the world
 ♪
 And we know it
 You're so afraid of what people might say
 But that's okay 'cause you're only human
 You're so afraid of what people might say
 But that's okay, you'll soon get strong enough
 You're so afraid of what people might say
 But that's okay 'cause you're only human
 You're so afraid of what people might say
 You're going to break so please, don't do it
 So afraid of what people might say (That's okay)
 So afraid of what people might say (That's okay)
 So afraid of what people might say (That's okay)
 So afraid of what people might say (That's okay)
 You're so afraid of what people might say
 But that's okay 'cause you're only human
 You're so afraid of what people might say
 But that's okay, you'll soon get strong enough
 You're so afraid of what people might say
 But that's okay 'cause you're only human
 You're so afraid of what people might say
 You're going to break so please, don't do it
