Afraid - Curtis Peoples

I'm afraid of standing

In front of a crowd and

Letting all the people down

I'm afraid of mediocrity

And that you might give up on me

I'm afraid I'll disappoint my dad

His silence is the loudest sound

I'm even afraid of the dark sometimes

My imagination's wild

Maybe that's the reason

Why it's hard to say forever babe

I can see ten years from now

But tomorrow's unclear

I get so afraid sometimes that

I won't know what to do

But I'm not afraid to love you

I'm not afraid to love you

I'm afraid I'll have to compromise

And not see my dreams come to pass

I hate to make my mother cry

Which I've done too many times

I'm afraid of walking

Down that aisle but

I don't know why

I can't say why

I'm afraid you give way

Too much to us and

I never give enough

Maybe that's the reason

Why it's hard to say forever babe

I can see ten years from now

But tomorrow's unclear

I get so afraid sometimes that

I won't know what to do

But I'm not afraid to love you

I'm not afraid to love you

I'm afraid to talk

On the phone today

I might be playing

It way too safe

I'm afraid of someone hurting you when

I'm a million miles away

And for my brother's

Gentle soul in a

Violent world in a violent war

I'm afraid I've pushed

Too hard in life and

I've missed the point of it all

Maybe that's the reason

Why it's hard to say forever babe

I can see ten years from now

But tomorrow's unclear

I get so afraid sometimes that

I won't know what to do

But I'm not afraid to love you

I'm not afraid to love you

I get so afraid sometimes that

I won't know what to do

But I'm not afraid to love you

I'm not afraid to love you

I'm not afraid to love you

I'm not afraid not afraid

I'm not afraid to love you

I'm not afraid to love you
