He

[Verse 1] He sits in the back of the classroom Drawing his name on a magazine cover Big stage Bright haze in his notebook Crowds chanting like they really know him She laughs at a joke in the hallway He writes it down like a stolen sunrise Practices lines in the bathroom mirror Mouth moves But the sound just dies [Chorus] He’s too afraid to live Too afraid to fall Too afraid his little heart Means nothing at all So he hides his fire ’Til it all burns dim Too afraid to love So he never begins [Verse 2] Late night Blue glow on his pillow Scrolling through lives that look so golden He saves every post about “chasing it” But his feet stay glued Heart frozen He sees her walk home in the twilight Bag on her shoulder Hair in her face He could run up Say “Can I walk with you?” Instead he just memorizes her pace [Chorus] He’s too afraid to live Too afraid to fall Too afraid his little heart Means nothing at all So he hides his fire ’Til it all burns dim Too afraid to love So he never begins [Bridge] What if the door swung open? What if the words came out? What if the dream was louder Than every single doubt? (yeah) He whispers those questions softly Then buries them again Tells himself “maybe tomorrow” But tomorrow never ends [Chorus] He’s too afraid to live Too afraid to fall Too afraid his little heart Could ever stand tall So he guards his silence Like a second skin Too afraid to love So he never begins [Outro] One more day of almost One more night of “what if” A world in his window He watches Then drifts Too afraid to break The glass he stares through Too afraid to lose All he never pursued
