To live without a savior, answer to his name, Shouldn't be afraid, shouldn't be ashamed Like a kid behind the counter remembering your name, Shouldn't be afraid, shouldn't be ashamed If it's not like I told you, then it's still your call You should live how you want, stay with me, we should stay apart Just shouldn't ever have to be this hard Like a man on the sidewalk remembering your face, Shouldn't look away, shouldn't be afraid He remembers when they still wore gaiters, World War One Shouldn't be afraid, shouldn't be ashamed If it's not like I told you, then it's still your call You should live how you want, stay with me, we should stay apart Just shouldn't ever have to be this hard
