Afraid

I'm America's sweetheart

Tryin' to get away

You make it hard to leave, but it's easier for me to stay

Why I'm so afraid

And I've had it up to here with the fighting

Baby, we're not fooling anyone these days

I don't wanna stray

But, boy, I'm so afraid



But it's not love that keeps me here

And it's not what you want to hear

So I'm going back to Santa Monica, New York to L.A.

Never coming back, boy, no matter what you do or say

'Cause I'm so afraid

And I had it up to here with the panic and the fear

There's nothing in your heart

Thought that I could make you change

But I'm so afraid

But it's not love that keeps me here



We were just teenagers when we fell in love

Driving in your fast car, looking at the stars above

But it was not enough

You should never come between a woman and a dream

And a man who never knew his place

There's no easy way...to come back from where you came



But it's not love that keeps me here

And it's not what you want to hear

So, baby, now I'm going back to Santa Monica, New York to L.A.

Never coming back, boy, no matter what you do or say

'Cause I'm so afraid

Well, I...had it up to here with the panic and the fear

Nothing in your heart

Boy, I thought that I could make you change

But I'm so afraid



And it's not love, it's just the fear

You've put down for all these years

But I'm leaving now

I'm going...

Back to Santa Monica, New York to L.A.

Never coming back, boy, no matter what you do or say

I am done being afraid



Well, we've had it up to here with the panic and the fear

There's nothing in your heart

I thought that I could make you change

But I'm so afraid



Oh, it's not love that keeps me here

It's not love that keeps me here

I'm done being afraid

I am done being afraid

Ohh-ohh
