Afraid To Live

Lyrics :

[Verse 1]
I wake up every day on borrowed time
Smiling just enough to draw the line
Between the truth I hide behind my skin
And the wars I never let them in

[Verse 2]
I built my walls from all the things I lost
Counting every fear and every cost
I learned to breathe without a sound
So no one hears me breaking down

[Chorus]
I’m afraid to live, afraid to try
Afraid of hope that leads to goodbye
I hold my breath and close my eyes
Afraid to live, afraid to try

[Verse 3]
I watch my life from somewhere far away
Like I’m a ghost that chose to stay
Every chance is standing still
Waiting on a strength I’ve yet to feel

[Chorus]
I’m afraid to live, afraid to try
Afraid of dreams that learn to die
I keep my heart locked deep inside
Afraid to live, afraid to try

[Verse 4]
I see the light but doubt its name
I fear the loss more than the pain
If I step forward I might fall
If I don’t move I lose it all

[Bridge]
Maybe fear is not the end
Maybe breaking means I bend
If I let the silence speak
I might find the courage buried deep

[Final Chorus]
I was afraid to live, afraid to try
But staying still feels like goodbye
If I fall at least I’ll know
I chose to live, I chose to grow
