And lately I've been thinking about
All the times that I kept quiet
And lately I've been thinking about
All the times that I kept hiding
And lately I've been thinking about
All the times I had opportunities
And lately I've been thinking about
All the times I had the chance to shine
And it's not that I'm quiet
And it's not that I'm mysterious
And it's not that I just don't care
And it's not that I'm secretive
It's that I am scared of everything
Yes I am scared of everything
Yes I am scared of everything
But I pretend that everything
Is scared of me
And often I have told myself
That I live a life of honesty
And often I have told myself
That I live a life of no regrets
And often I have told myself
That I am a strong girl
But let's face it, the real world would chew me up
And it's not that I'm quiet
And it's not that I'm mysterious
And it's not that I just don't care
And it's not that I'm secretive
It's that I am scared of everything
Yes I am scared of everything
Yes I am scared of everything
But I pretend that everything
Is scared of me
Do you know my biggest, my deepest fear
Past death, darkness, and spiders
Is that I will live 100 years
And not enjoy a minute
That I will never have the guts to get up
And say "I'm doing this"
That I will never have the guts
To say "This is what I love
And here's why I need it"
(Oooh)
And yes I'm pretty quiet
And sometimes a little mysterious
And sometimes I can't be bothered
And sometimes I'm keeping secrets
And though I am scared of everything
Though I am scared of everything
Though I am scared of everything
I like to think that sometimes everything
Is scared of me too
