Yael Naïm - Coward Lyrics

I miss my friends and my guitar
and knowing I can travel far
but now, i'm only standing here
completely paralyzed with fear

the fear of who i'll come to be
of all the weaknesses in me
I truly thought i was prepared
but now i'm panicked, and i'm scared

But how did i become a coward ?

I lived alone and i was free
to do whatever came to me
but i was craving to share
If only i could ever dare

to care for someone else but me
If our two created three ?
but can i let go of the thrill
turn it into something real

how did i become a coward ?

little girl, little boy
do you feel my fear and do you feel my joy ?
now you've entered my body, straight to heart and into my soul...
come ... grow ...

and now a voice inside my head
Is telling me to go ahead
you're not a coward

But how did i become a coward ?
