Vanish in the world around me Leaving ash and bone This crown of thorns that shows no mercy But it's my own I grace these walls with all my failures What have I become? I think it's time for my forgiveness Lick these wounds to heal A loveless crime with no conviction Left behind the wheel I know its time, lay down, surrender Someone take control 'Cause I'm afraid to love 'Cause I'm afraid I'll leave I'm living with these lies That only I believe And I don't want to walk And I don't want to run 'Cause I'm afraid of falling In front of everyone Hold me down and hurt my feelings I won't do the same Locked away my heart unwilling I've taken all the blame The darkest hour always finds me The story ends the same 'Cause I'm afraid to win 'Cause I don't wanna lose 'Cause I'm afraid of falling Under your review And I'm afraid to live But I'm too tired to try I fall behind these shadows And killed off all the light This never ending longing feeling Waiting to be loved I'm still believing in forever But it never comes And I don't wanna walk Don't want to have to run 'Cause I'm afraid of falling (I keep falling) In front of everyone
