Everything Scares Me

[Verse 1] Didn’t talk to you on the train even though you smiled my way I built a whole disaster in my head before a word was even said It’s pathetic, I know but that's just how it goes [Pre-Chorus] Every hello feels like a gun at my chest and I’m the one pulling first, I confess killing the moment before it can start, shooting myself in the heart. [Chorus] Everything scares me the dark, the light, the in between Every step feels like a stage and I’m terrified of being seen I’m tired of being my own cage, but I’m the one who locked the door. Always wanting so much more [Verse 2] Watched the world from the corner while everyone else made a mess and called it living I measure my words like raindrops while they spill theirs without thinking I’ve missed a thousand chances, all in the name of safety. [Pre-Chorus] Every dream dies before it takes flight, I burn it down in the silence of night. Choking the fire before it can glow, I’m always the first to let go. [Chorus] Everything scares me the dark, the light, the in between Every step feels like a stage and I’m terrified of being seen I’m tired of being my own cage, but I’m the one who locked the door. Always wanting so much more [Bridge] II hate the walls I’ve built too high, a prison made from every “why.” The windows show a brighter view, but I can’t make it through. The door is open, still I stay, too scared of losing either way. I trace the cracks with shaking hands, imagining some promised land. [Chorus] Everything scares me the dark, the light, the in between Every step feels like a stage and I’m terrified of being seen I’m tired of being my own cage, but I’m the one who locked the door. Always wanting so much more [Outro] Maybe I’ll die like this afraid of living, afraid of dying, afraid of everything.
