Vanish in the world around me
Leaving ash and bone
My crown of thorns it 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
I'm losing faith, a silent poison
Pain I'd like to feel
I know it's 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 wanna run
'Cause I'm afraid of failing
In front of everyone
 
Hold me down and hurt my feelings
I won't do the same
I'll cry inside with disappointment
Taking all the blame
The darkest hour always finds me
Pulling far away
 
'Cause I'm afraid to win
'Cause I don't wanna lose
And I'm afraid of falling
Under harsh review
And I'm afraid to live
And I'm too tired to try
I hide behind these shadows
Turn off all the lights
 
This never-ending longing feeling
Waiting to be loved
I'm still believing in forever
But it never comes

I'm afraid to love
'Cause I'm afraid I'll leave
I'm living with these lies
That only I believe
 
I'm afraid to walk
And I don't wanna run
And I'm afraid of hurting
Myself and everyone
