Lyrics
When You're Scared
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's really easy to hate everyone
When you're scared
Making comparisons,
Faking your friends
When you're scared
Then comes the day
Everything's taken away
Everyone's shame is the same
If she gives me a sword and a lake
Will I mistake it?
If she hands me my head on a plate
How will I take it
If I'm scared?
It's really easy to take all the blame
When you're scared
All of your ornaments fall to the floor
When you're scared
All the decisions to make
All of your life is at stake
Under your feet there's a quake
If she gives me a sword and a lake
Will I mistake it?
If she hands me my head on a plate
How will I take it
If I'm scared?
Love twisted to break
And it's your life that you hate
Nothing is easy to take
If she gives me a sword and a lake
Will I mistake it?
When she hands me my head on a plate
Then will I break it
If I'm scared?
