I Was Scared lyrics

Listen to me I've got to clear the air There's something I've held way down deep inside all these years You always were a friend You always trusted me But now I must admit that I was not trustworthy I let you down I sold you out I turned away as you fell onto the ground I was scared And I was terrified I was lost and so I shied away And I don't know what I can do to make it up to you I can't turn back the clock I can't rewrite the book But if I could, the end would be happy You would be safe And I would be proud to look at you when I look you in the face I let you down I sold you out I turned away as you fell onto the ground I was scared I was terrified I was lost and so I shied away Though I love you I was so afraid I could not think of anything to say Though I loved you (Though I loved you) Though I trusted you Though I needed you (Though I needed you) I was so afraid I was so afraid (I was so afraid) And I promise that I'll never ever do The thing that I did on that day when I acted like the fool I might get my ass beat, My throat slit, and my fingers hacked But I'll never miss another chance to watch my brother's back (And I got yours) I let you down I sold you out I turned away as you fell onto the ground I was scared I was terrified I was lost and so I shied away I was scared I was terrified I was lost and so I let you down
