"Coward"

Should I be scared, be afraid

Of someone I only know by name

You say he’s a friend from way back when

But you only speak to him when I’m away

Is it my fear, of theft

That someone will just steal you away

That has me now on the verge of tears

Or my guilty conscience from my past mistakes

I’m a coward, I’m afraid

To confront you with my fears

I’m a coward, I’m afraid

To tell you about my tears

If he’s nothing, just a friend

Then don’t be afraid to speak his name

I’m not insecure enough to scream

With rage unless there’s something else you won’t say

I’ve told you once, told you twice

Your honest is all that I need

So why do I feel I need to find

The things that you always say are never there

I’m a coward, I’m afraid

To confront you with my fears

I’m a coward, I’m afraid

To tell you about my tears

You just say no, don’t worry

It’s all in my head I’m just crazy

I want to believe you to trust you

Why won’t I listen I should just believe you
