I'm afraid
I know its not a manly thing to admit
Strong people shouldn't feel fear
And I am strong
I believe I am

Like all my memories as a child
I saw things others couldn't
I was so strong then
I bled until there was no blood left
And I am still live

And this curse I can't lift
This want that I can't purge
This ghost that follows me
This failure, this disease
This pain I can't forget

I'm afraid
That this oyster has no pearls
And I can fight against the tide
To look some more
And never find

Like all my memories of you
