(Afraid, afraid, afraid, afraid, afraid, afraid)

Even if you want

You can't touch me now

Leave me if you want

You can't hurt me now

(I'm afraid, I'm afraid)

(I'm afraid)

Build them up (High and strong so you'll never have to hurt too long)

Put them up ('Til they surround and there's no real you left to be found)

Hold it up (High above, no fear of hope or trust of love)

Close it up (And hold your ground and wait until it's time to finally close it down)

Even if you want

You can't touch me now

Leave me if you want

You can't hurt me now

(I'm afraid, I'm afraid)

(I'm afraid)

This isn't easy to admit

I don't think I'm believing it

I'm afraid this time

(Ooh-ooh) (This isn't easy to admit but I don't think I'm believing it)

It's not the same this time

(Ooh-ooh) (This isn't easy to admit but I don't think I'm believing it)
