Not Afraid
I want to cry sometimes
Even when I’m happy
Cause it clears my soul
To know I’m not afraid anymore.
I’m not afraid
That you’ll leave me
If you’re going to go
You will go.
I’m not afraid
That you’ll never talk to me again
If you don’t want to talk
Then you’ll hear no words.
I’m not afraid
That you may stop touching me
If you don’t want to feel
Then touch you I won’t.
I want to cry sometimes
Even when I’m happy
Cause it clears my soul
To know I’m not afraid anymore.
I’m not afraid
Of getting hurt
If you hurt me
Then I let myself get to close.
I’m not afraid
Of missing out on a kiss
If I don’t get one
Then it’s one of many I don’t have.
I’m not afraid
Of you anymore
If there is no love
Then there’s no us.
I want to cry sometimes
Even when I’m happy
Cause it clears my soul
To know I’m not afraid anymore.
