I Am Afraid lyrics

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 (chorus) 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 enough for two
