Nelly Furtado "Afraid" lyrics

Afraid

What they say, what they say, what they sayWhat they say, what they say, what they say

You speak out all you feel is defianceAll you need is some self-relianceCuz this world is gonna always try usAnd all you wanted was to run for coverWell here's looking to yourself and no otherWe're all searching for that special somethingAnd we keep on running

We all have the choice to take the lead or followI want to feel the light shine on me

So afraid of what people might sayBut that's all okay, cuz you're only humanSo afraid of what people might sayBut that's all okay, you'll soon get strong enoughSo afraid of what people might sayBut that's all okay, cuz you're only humanSo afraid of what people might sayYou're going to breakSo please don't doin' it

You wanna spread your wings but you're not sureDon't wanna leave your comfortsWanna find a cureWe're afraid of who we see in the mirrorWe wanna let got but it feels too pureWho wants to be alone in this worldYou look around and all you see is hurtBut the light it always finds usIf we move with a little trust

We all have the choice to take the lead or followI want to feel the light shine on me

So afraid of what people might sayBut that's all okay, cuz you're only humanSo afraid of what people might sayBut that's all okay, you'll soon get strong enoughSo afraid of what people might sayBut that's all okay, cuz you're only humanSo afraid of what people might sayYou're going to breakSo please don't doin' it

A diamond don't define what shine isI don't need a Rolex to know what the time isYou got your let me find what mine isI'm a survivor look how strong my mind isI stand on my own it's all meRegardless of whatever they call meI'm a leader not a followerAnd I'd rather be paid and popularRide homie get your dollars upWe're in the belly of the beast that already swallowed us

Now the world and we know itNow the world... and we know itSo afraid of what people might sayBut that's okay cuz you're only humanSo afraid of what people might sayBut that's all okay you'll soon get strong enoughSo afraid of what people might sayBut that's all okay cuz you're only humanSo afraid of what people might sayYou're going to breakSo please don't doin' it

So afraid of what people might saySo afraid of what people migth saySo afraid of what people migth saySo afraid of what people might say

So afraid of what people might sayBut that's all okay, cuz you're only humanSo afraid of what people might sayBut that's all okay, you'll soon get strong enoughSo afraid of what people might sayBut that's all okay, cuz your'e only humanSo afraid of people might sayYou're going to breakSo please don't doin' it
