I am new to this town
I'm just getting around
I don't know who my friends really are
So I don't let anyone in too far
And if you think I am rude
You don't know the truth
That I'm Scared
I have been on my own
I always end up alone
No one has ever been there for me
And many have lied when they said that they tried
So I have learned not to trust
'Cause I've been burned way too much
So now I'm Scared
And though I try my best
to keep a smile on my face
I'm always staking out a place to hide
And you may think that I am
just too precious for your taste
But if you looked behind that you would find
That I'm scared, I'm so scared,
Yes, I'm scared, I'm just scared
'Cause I have told myself
Be more like everyone else
But then when I try, I ask myself why
'Cause we're not so very different inside
We're all playing a game
We just don't act the same
When we're scared
And I'm scared, I'm so scared,
Yes, I'm scared, I'm just scared
When we're scared, we're so scared
And I'm scared, I'm so scared...
