AFRAID


Don't let me see what I am

Cause I can't stand it, 

I'm coming back round again

It's been over a year, I thought this was the end

 

And now I don't remember comfort

Because what I am is what I'm not

I don't belong here, it's just hopeless

Find me a way out if you love me at all

 

Don't let me hear what they say

Cause I can't stand it every day

I'm thinking that I should leave now

And I don't think I'm coming back this time

 

This phantom skin it's weird to live in

So find me a way out if you love me at all
