In an act of desperation she tried to play the game

And finalize the deal, now they would never be the same

He wondered if inside him, he should have hidden what was real

Couldn't learn to live without it, how was it supposed to feel

Her voice then broke the silence saying soon they'd both forget

Then another silence, then he said without regret



I will not be afraid

Though there ain't no miracles coming round the bend

Sometimes it's better just to let them end

Pain is your foe unless you make it your friend

And some things, some things I will not pretend



In a decision made in haste, he quickly said good bye

To a world he couldn't get through, but a world well worth a try

It is a lesser road now traveled, took him away from what he knew

And as his words became reality, he wondered what to do

But for reasons beyond his reckoning, he was so free from fear

And I wondered who was speaking as I listen to him here



I will not be afraid

Though there ain't no miracles coming round the bend

Sometimes it's better just to let them end

Pain is your foe, unless you make it your friend

And some things, some things I will not pretend



Felix lost his magic bag of tricks

For how else is a kitty cat gonna get his kicks

He tried believing that he knew where his magic bag was at

He tried believing in the beat up black felt top hat

He knew the show was bad, and the trick was a lie

But he didn't want to tell them, because they thought that he might cry



He could be inside a bottle or a camouflage vest

But the world is just a pillow, and we all need a rest

But don't forget that when you and your dreams have survived

Remembrance is the pain that keeps those things alive

And he woke up the next morning and it was all swept away

I bet I'd know what Felix would say

He'd say



I will not be afraid

Though there ain't no miracles coming round the bend

Sometimes it's better just to let them end

Pain is your foe, unless you make it your friend

And some things, some things I will not pretend
