Do you do you want to bleed? Do you do you want to live in vain? It's only life She's so afraid to kiss An' so afraid to laugh Is she runnin' from her past? It's only life She's so afraid of love Is so afraid of hate What's she runnin' from now?? Do you do you want to scream? Do you do you want to face the strange? Do you do you believe? Are you are you afraid of change? It's only life She's so afraid of this And so afraid to ask She hides behind her mask Nothing's ever right She's so afraid of pain So afraid of blame It's driving her insane So insecure There is no cure Well, she's so afraid She's so afraid of death She's so afraid, afraid of life The drama in her head Getting louder all the time Getting louder all the time She's so afraid, afraid to lose Been so afraid of fame Everyday she feels the same It's driven her insane It's driven her It's driven It's Another broken pretty thing
