First of all I like to say that this is a sad song that I wrote about two years ago now. I wrote it about my relationship between me and my mother sometimes. I hope you like it. :]
Being Afraid
First verse: I don’t want to go home, anymore.
‘Cause I’d know what I’d find there.
I’d be sad and afraid
I’d have to listen to you complain
About the price I have to pay
For being out of line
Which I am most of the time
I’m sick of all the speeches you make
For my every mistake
And then leave me be
While I become guilty
I give in everytime
For what choice do I have?
I love you
I really do
But you gotta lay off me less
Now I confess—
Chorus: I have to watch my
Ev-er-y move
Nearly all-the-time
If I don’t
You almost say
“you’re butt is mine”
And I find myself
Crying for some peace
Because your love
Is killing me
And being afraid
Is not how I wanna be
Second verse: Being afraid
Me and my sensitivity
Isn’t good for me
But it is for you
It’s like you’re hungry
And you come back for more
It seems like we’re always at war
And I always seem
To lose.
I feel like up and down I’m screwed.
It’s like I’m trapped
And I’m gonna be under your rules forever
Well I hope you get better
Because I can’t take this
No more
No more
I love you
I really do
But you have to lay off me less
Now I am stressed
Chorus
Third verse: I can’t hide these tears from behind my eyes anymore
I can’t fight it
I can’t control it
I—I’m letting it out.
Each tear represents my friends, my family
And what I believe
I’m falling to the ground
Until you see
Until you see
Who—I—am!
Who I am.
Chorus 2x
Being afraid.
Being afraid.

A Distant Memory
First verse: All alone
On my own
Walkin’ the streets
Chasin’ no dreams
Forgetting a distant memory
Of what I’ve turned out to be.
Always crushed
Always rushed
Never in love
Nothing I’ve done to make you run away.
Oh, oh
Chorus: Talkin’ to myself
All by myself
You don’t see
I’m going crazy
Singin’ to myself
All by myself
Now, now, now
Don’t you make me a distant—
Memory
Second verse: Don’t need your help
Fine by myself.
Nothin’ to do
Nothin’ to lose
For everything I knew is gone
Still cold
Still alone
Nothin’ but a disgrace
Nothin’ but a waste
Now the rain is pourin’ down on my face
Chorus
Third verse: No more
Torchure
Make me believe
Make me still see
That I have my sanity
And that you could be
There
For me
Answer me
Am I weak?
Or am I crazy?
Oh oh!
Chorus 2x
