What it really comes down to
Is that I have no guts
I lack the appropriate courage
From being crushed.

I fear the chance of failure
And it really holds me back
It's a pretty bad habit
One I can't seem to knack.

Maybe I don't really want to
It's actually really hard
I'm always afraid of the jump
Or asking for another card.

Taking the leap of faith
Isn't something I've ever done
And whenever I do something new
I grit my teeth, and want to run.

I don't know what my problem is
Or if it's a problem at all
But It's something I need to conquer
A climb over another wall.

A little piece of me
That I'm trying to decipher
It's something I've been working on
Something that doesn't bring me higher.

It brings me lower
I've figured this out
So now I've got to get passed it
And overcome the doubt.

And maybe one day
Some time soon
I'll have the courage
To try something new.

Try all the things
I've always wanted to do
Dance like no one is watching
And sing like I ought to.

But that time won't come easily
And it won't come very fast
Hopefully I can defeat this
And put it in my past.

Behind me. I want this behind me.
