LYRICS:

Verse:

I made this bed

I choose to lie in it

Live with my regrets

Sleep with what I said

Could this be the end

Am I standing on the edge

Of everything I wanted now

Pre-chorus:

I was afraid

I was afraid

Chorus:

Maybe I'm too scared

To face the things I fear

It's easier to walk away from everything

Verse 2:

Separate my soul

With all the things we shared

I'm falling to pieces now

Say a prayer for me (say a prayer for me)

When I go to sleep (cuz)

I'm in need of your faith now

Pre-chorus:

I was afraid

Chorus

Maybe I'm too scared

To face the things I fear

It's easier to walk away from everything

If we can just re-set

And live in happiness

Instead of our

Regrets to salvage everything

We don't have to walk away

Bridge:

Pray for me now

I'm in need of faith

Pray for me now

I'm in nee

Quiet verse:

Maybe I'm too scared

To face the things I fear

It's easier to walk away from everything

Chorus:

If we could just re-set

And live in happiness

Instead of our

Regreats to salvage everything

Maybe I'm too scared

Too face the things I fear

It's easier to walk away from everything

Walk away from everything

Walk away from everything
