afraid to move

 

I have to stay in one place/ because I am afraid to move/ I have to stay in one place/ because there's nowhere I can choose/ I see danger in every alley/ every corner, every home/ I need familiar surroundings/ I am so scared of the unknown/ it's so strange/ how people change/ seldom for the good/ so misunderstood/ with nothing left to prove/ I am afraid to move

I have to remain at home/ because something bad might happen/ I might fall in love/ set my feet and toes to tapping/ and that would be dangerous/ that would be the worst/ it's my experience/ that love is just a curse/ it's not fair/ that I am scared/ hiding out/ without a doubt/ I don't know what I can do/ I am afraid to move

don't make me leave here/ I feel safe when there's nowhere to go/ out there is only fear/ and that's all I need to know

I have to stay in one place/ I need to stay away from you/ my history has shown me/ that I'm afraid to move/ one day, one month, one year/ I will find a way to leave/ someday I'll discover/ what life has up its sleeves/ but until that day/ I'll be locked away/ is the prison of my own design/ until it's time/ I know inside that it's not true/ but I am afraid to move
