I’m Afraid Lyrics by Robert Cray

Shoulda Been Home

0

Where's the sun when you want it?
Never been a fan of clouds
You said you'd decide
When the time was right

So I stayed and I waited
I'm afraid to let this one go

Can't see the stars the way I used to
Big city lights surrounding me
I got a whole lot of pride, yeah
But I've been known to lie

So I stayed and I waited
I'm afraid to let this one go

Whoaaaaaaaohhhh
The lessons learned

So many ways, so many ways
This world can turn

The sky's the limit
I've got nothing to hide
No matter which way the wind is blowing
You can't stop this fire burning inside, no

Kinda cool around here this evening
Kinda like the look you're giving me
But then again you smile, yeah, yeah
Just like a child, baby

I stayed and I waited, huh
I'm afraid, but I waited
I stayed and I waited
Oh Lord, and I prayed, and I waited
I stayed and I waited
I'm afraid to let this one go
