Afraid Lyrics

I never knew that I was blind

Till I turned toward the sun

And opened my eyes

And I never knew that I was lost

Till I tried to find my way back home

And I stumbled and fell

And I never truly tasted the rain

Till I stepped outside the door

And looked past my pain

I never realized I'm alone

Till the party came to an end

And everyone went home

And all the times that I've been lonely

And all the times I've been afraid

We can leave them on the doorstep

And watch them slip away

I never knew that I was gone

Never knew where I belong

Until I found a home

And I never cared for what I own

They could take it all away

Cause I don't plan on getting old

And I never listen to what they say

Doesn't really matter much to me

They know I love them anyway

So when I left it was for me

I only thought about myself

Cause I had to be free

And all the times that I've been lonely

And all the times I've been afraid

We can leave them on the doorstep

And watch them slip away

Cause you'll go nowhere without gambling

And you'll take chances down the road

And though you might be beat and broken

You'll be paid what you are owed

Cause all the times that you've been lonely

And all those times you've been afraid

You can leave them on the doorstep

And watch them wash away
