Afraid This Time [2000] Lyrics by Celldweller

The Beta Cessions

2004

[Intro]
(Afraid, afraid, afraid, afraid, afraid, afraid)

[Refrain]
Even if you want
You can't touch me now
Leave me if you want
You can't hurt me now
(I'm afraid, I'm afraid)
(I'm afraid)

[Verse 1]
Build them up (High and strong so you'll never have to hurt too long)
Put them up ('Til they surround and there's no real you left to be found)
Hold it up (High above, no fear of hope or trust or love)
Close it up (And hold your ground and wait until it's time to finally close it down)

[Refrain]
Even if you want
You can't touch me now
Leave me if you want
You can't hurt me now
(I'm afraid, I'm afraid)
(I'm afraid)

[Pre-Chorus]
It isn't easy to admit
I don't think I'm believing it

[Chorus]
I'm afraid this time
(This isn't easy to admit, but I don't think I'm believing it)
It's not the same this time
(This isn't easy to admit, but I don't think I'm believing it)

[Verse 2]
Build them up (So you'll never have to hurt too long)
Put them up (There's no real you left to be found)
Hold it up (No fear of hope or trust or love)
Close it up (Wait until it's time to finally close it down)

[Final Chorus + Refrain]
(This isn't easy to admit, but I don't think I'm believing it)
I'm afraid this time
It's not the same this time (Even if you want, you can't touch me now)
(Leave me if you want, you can't hurt me now)
I'm afraid (Even if you want, you can't touch me now)
(Leave me if you want, you can't hurt me now)
Even if you want, you can't touch me now
Leave me if you want, you can't hurt me now
I'm afraid this time
(This isn't easy to admit, but I don't think I'm believing it)
I'm afraid this time (Even if you want, you can't touch me now)
It's not the same this time (Leave me if you want, you can't hurt me now)
I'm afraid (Even if you want, you can't touch me now)
(Leave me if you want, you can't hurt me now)

[Outro]
This isn't easy to admit, but I'm afraid
This isn't easy to admit, but I'm afraid
This isn't easy to admit, but I'm afraid
This isn't easy to admit, but I'm afraid
This isn't easy to admit, but I'm afraid this time
This isn't easy to admit, but I'm afraid
This isn't easy to admit, but I'm afraid
This isn't easy to admit, but I'm afraid
This isn't easy
