my idols went with my youth
my love grows colder with age
horizons expanding 
at what price? so demanding
i wnat to go back to my youth

i am a long way from home
the rules they won't change anymore
how could one expect
that what i did neglect
would come back and pull me to my roots

i'm so afraid to be afraid
i'm not afraid (to be afraid)
i'm so afraid to be afraid
i'm not afraid (to be afraid)

my heartache is no longer true
my mind it is filled with excuses
i said it too much
"there's no time for the past,
i am destined to break all the rules"

i am a long way from home
the rules they won't change anymore
how could one expect 
that what i did neglect
would come back and pull me to my roots

i'm so afraid to be afraid
i'm not afraid (to be afraid)
i'm so afraid to be afraid
i'm not afraid (to be afraid)
