Amanda Merdzan Afraid Lyrics

I hoped to find that everything I thought was wrong
That I was mistaken all along
But it's a truth I can't hide from

I hoped to stand taller than I ever have
I went further than I thought I can
Though I could not help but turn back

And I am still afraid
Of all the things that I can't change
And I am trying to be brave
But there is only so much I can fake

I danced all night with the sweetest of ideas
That this story would not end here
Though it seems the book's been written dear.

And I won't stop tearing pages from the spine
My shaking hands rewrite the lines
I know this time I'll really try

And I am still afraid
Of all the things that I can't change
And I am trying to be brave
But there is only so much I can fake

Should you see courage in my eyes
Don't think that I'm not terrified
Fear is always close behind
Snapping at my heels
