Story Behind The Song

I was stuck on some of the lyrics, and after Kat heard them one time, she filled in the rest.

Song Description

This is a reflection of thoughts about my marriage. There was a dichotomy between being in love and being on guard. Hopefully, the listener learns to be afraid; meaning never just accept the thousand words as truth.

Lyrics

Be afraid
(You don't have to be afraid. afraid.)
afraid
(You don't have to run, can't hide from.)
Be afraid
(You don't have to be afraid. afraid.)
Won't you please be afraid.
(You don't have to be afraid. You don't have to run, can't hide from be afraid)
Be afraid
(You don't have to be afraid)

A thousand words can't say it. A thousand words can't make it OK. Too good to be true turned true. I breathe, but I'm suffocating. [suffocating] I should leave, but I'm waiting on me just to listen.

Hear this.
(chorus)

[My love]
I'm here, but I'm far away. [So true] Didn't I say I will. [My love] I'm not ashamed of what I have become.[So true][My love] If I run, I run into me. [So true] Close my eyes [So true] but I still see. I know I love me that much.

[comforting me]
Like an old song that you used to be.
[whisper something in my ear] Like a warm place only you see.
[comforting me]
Like an old song that you used to be. Like a warm place only you see.
[whispering something]
Like an old song that you used to be.
[whispering something in my ear] Like a warm place only you see.
[comforting me]
Like an old song that you used to be. Like a warm place only you see.

[Be afraid. Be afraid. Be afraid. Be afraid, afraid. Be afraid.]

Hear this.
[Be afraid](You don't have to be afraid. You don't have to run, can't hide from. You don't have to be afraid)
