I Told You That I Was Afraid (Acoustic) Karaoke

I told you that

I was afraid

That I would have

a bad trip fall asleep

and never wake

They told me back at school

that it would happen

I believed it

till I didn't

I told you that

I was afraid

Of stating my opinion in

a clear and honest way

They told me in my youth

it wasn't needed

Some thoughts are

best deleted and

everyone agreed it

I don't know what

I'm getting up for

I don't know what

I'm getting up for

I'm not getting

taller anymore

So when I fall it's

always the same

distance as before

You'd think that I'd

learn to anticipate it

By the millionth

time I ate it and

I told you that

I wasn't scared

That even if I fractured

every bone I didn't care

I never told a lie

so confidently

But you let me down

so gently the concrete

barely bent me

I don't know what

I'm getting up for

I don't know what

I'm getting up for

One more year then

I'll look at the score

I don't know what

I'm getting up for

Kindly tell me a lie

will you look me

in the eye

And say it'll all be

alright in the end

Kindly tell me a lie

will you cross your

heart and hope to die

It'll all be alright

in the end

Kindly tell me a lie

will you look me

in the eye

And say it'll all be

alright in the end

Kindly tell me a lie

will you cross your heart

and hope to die

Cross your heart and

hope to die

Cross your heart and

hope to die

I told you that

I was afraid

That everyone around holds

me in some secret disdain

That I was held a fool

so far deluded

You told me that was

stupid but could never

really prove it

I don't know what

I'm getting up for

I don't know what

I'm getting up for

One more year then

I'll look at the score

I don't know what

I'm getting up for

I don't know what

I'm getting up for

I don't know what

I'm getting up for

One more year then

I'll look at the score

I don't know what

I'm getting up for
