And I said no to all the men I’ve come across
Through the years I’ve been living strong and today
I’m not afraid of love a different shade
So much that light could never hope to travel through

Yeah and I said no but all the things around my feet
They point the other way and I’m afraid I could be wrong

Put up walls around where you stay
Different kinds for different days
In this town I’m trying to live
The other side is easier still

Yeah and I said no but in my heart I’ve always been
A little in between the old and straight line family ways
Not long ago not long ago I do recall the uphill battle to today

Yeah when they said go and in their faces I could see
And all I thought of was suicide I’m nothing of a man

Put up walls around where you stay
Different kinds for different days
In this town I’m trying to live
The other side is easier still

You’re still afraid of me

Yeah and I said no to all the men I’ve come across
Through the years I’ve been living strong and today
Salt water falls and falls and falls
And I’ve got scars to show I’m crying all the time

You’re still afraid of me
