You're not scared of the dark
You're afraid of what's in it
You're not afraid of the people around you
You're afraid of rejection

You're not afraid to love
You're just afraid of not being loved in return
You're not afraid to let go
You're just afraid to accept the reality that they're gone

You're not afraid to stand up to your friends
You're afraid they'll leave you for doing it
You're not afraid to try
You're afraid of failing

You see in every corner of fear
There are reasons you have it
You just don't want to face it

You're not afraid of the truth
You're afraid of the pain it causes
