I'm afraid of standing in front of a crowd
And letting all the people down
I'm afraid of mediocrity
and that you might give up on me

I'm afraid I'll disappoint my dad
His silence is the loudest sound
I'm even afraid of the dark sometimes
my imagination's wild

Maybe that's the reason why it's hard to say forever babe
I can see 10 years from now, but tomorrow's unclear
I get so afraid Sometimes that I won't know what to do
But I'm not afraid to love you
I'm not afraid to love you

I'm afraid I'll have to compromise
And not see my dreams come to pass
I hate to make my mother cry, which I've done too many times
I'm afraid of walking down that aisle
But I don't know why, I can't say why
I'm afraid you give way too much to us and I never give enough

Maybe that's the reason why it's hard to say forever babe
I can see 10 years from now, but tomorrow's unclear
I get so afraid Sometimes that I won't know what to do
But I'm not afraid to love you
I'm not afraid to love you

I'm afraid to talk on the phone today
I might be playing it way too safe
I'm afraid of someone hurting you when I'm a million miles away
And for my brother's gentle soul in a violent world in a violent war
I'm afraid I've pushed too hard in life
And I've missed the point of it all

Maybe that's the reason why it's hard to say forever babe
I can see 10 years from now, but tomorrow's unclear
I get so afraid Sometimes that I won't know what to do
But I'm not afraid to love you
I'm not afraid to love you

I get so afraid Sometimes that I won't know what to do
But I'm not afraid to love you
I'm not afraid to love you

I'm not afraid to love you
