My neighborhood is quiet,
The sky is full of clouds.
All but the wind is silent,
Though my mind's so very loud.

How can it be that I see the whole world,
And all I feel is... small?
How can it be that it's me, just one girl,
My back against the wall?

Oh, I'm scared of every little thing.
I'm so scared of the world, and you, and me.
Of the world, and you, and me.

My closet is my shelter,
Where I sing and write and cry.
Would escaping make it better?
I'm afraid to even try.

What is this feeling inside of my heart?
A hole I cannot fill.
What is it now that's tearing me apart?
It hurts so bad, and still...

I'm so scared of every little thing.
Oh, I'm scared of the world, and you, and me.
Of the world, and you, and me.

Little girl, take my hand,
I'll show you who you'll become.
A fearful girl, who shuts out the world,
Hides away, she's no one...
She's broken...

She's just scared of every little thing.
She's just scared of the world, and you, and me.

Oh, I'm scared of every little thing.
I'm so scared of the world, and you, and me.
Of the world, and you, and me.
