You Aren'T Afraid At All

I didn’t get to say goodbye to you When you passed away out of the blue I didn’t get to make it up to you When I hurt you badly in rage and rue I want to change, I do But I can’t stop thinking of you And the things I put you through To be honest, it’s true — I love you… Come back, baby, come back You aren’t afraid at all When I want to stand tall You aren’t afraid at all When I walk this hopeful hall You aren’t afraid at all When I have my fist against the wall You aren’t afraid at all When my heart beats in appall I didn’t mean to use you as a punching bag When you were living life without a reason to brag I didn’t mean to manipulate you and damage The relationship we once had — it’s a lot of emotional baggage I want to change, I do But I can’t stop thinking of you And the things I put you through To be honest, it’s true — I love you… Come back, baby, come back You aren’t afraid at all When I want to stand tall You aren’t afraid at all When I walk this hopeful hall You aren’t afraid at all When I have my fist against the wall You aren’t afraid at all When my heart beats in appall I’m sorry for everything I do That harmed you in any way I haven’t a clue, haven’t a clue You’ve gone away, gone away I’m sorry for not holding you close with pride I suppose I’ll be moving on now…I’ll make it up to you I vow I love you, I didn’t know you were hurting inside I’m sorry you died, I can’t recover completely somehow I want to change, I do But I can’t stop thinking of you And the things I put you through To be honest, it’s true — I love you… Come back, baby, come back You aren’t afraid at all When I want to stand tall You aren’t afraid at all When I walk this hopeful hall You aren’t afraid at all When I have my fist against the wall You aren’t afraid at all When my heart beats in appall I’m sorry I let you down You aren’t afraid at all when you left this earth, my shimmering sun I’m sorry I wear this frown Hopeless and feeling guilty for not giving you quite enough attention I’ll get over what I have done to you Eventually, I’ll forgive myself too But, know I love you from the start Even when you’re gone, I’ll take heart
