I Was Scared

Listen to me

I've got to clear the air

There's something I've held way down deep inside all these years

You always were a friend

You always trusted me

But now I must admit that I was not trustworthy

I let you down

I sold you out

I turned away as you fell onto the ground

I was scared

And I was terrified

I was lost and so I shied away

And I don't know what I can do to make it up to you

I can't turn back the clock

I can't rewrite the book

But if I could, the end would be happy

You would be safe

And I would be proud to look at you when I look you in the face

I let you down

I sold you out

I turned away as you fell onto the ground

I was scared

I was terrified

I was lost and so I shied away

Though I love you

I was so afraid

I could not think of anything to say

Though I loved you (Though I loved you)

Though I trusted you

Though I needed you (Though I needed you)

I was so afraid

I was so afraid (I was so afraid)

And I promise that I'll never ever do

The thing that I did on that day when I acted like the fool

I might get my ass beat,

My throat slit, and my fingers hacked

But I'll never miss another chance to watch my brother's back (And I got yours)

I let you down

I sold you out

I turned away as you fell onto the ground

I was scared

I was terrified

I was lost and so I shied away

I was scared

I was terrified

I was lost and so I let you down
