Afraid (Slowed Down) Lyrics by The Neighbourhood

I Love You. (Slowed Down)

2023

[Intro]
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
[Verse 1]
Make that money, fake that dummy, ache my tummy
On the fence, all the time
Paid junk honey, your face so sunny, ain't that funny?
All my friends always lie to me, I know they're thinking
[Pre-Chorus]
You're too mean, I don't like you, fuck you, anyway
You make me wanna scream at the top of my lungs
It hurts but, I won't fight you, you suck, anyway
You make me wanna die, right when I
[Chorus]
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might end up being me
(Being me, being me)
[Verse 2]
Keep on dreaming, don't stop breathing, fight those demons
Sell your soul, not your whole self
Oh, if they see it when you're sleeping, make them leave it
And I can't even see if there's hope there anymore, so
[Pre-Chorus]
You're too mean, I don't like you, fuck you, anyway
You make me wanna scream at the top of my lungs
It hurts but, I won't fight you, you suck, anyway
You make me wanna die, right when I
[Chorus]
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might end up being me
(Being me, being me)
[Bridge]
Being me can only mean feeling scared to breathe
And if you leave me, then I'll be afraid of everything
That makes me anxious, gives me patience
Calms me down, lets me face this, let me sleep
And when I wake up (When I wake up, when I wake up), let me be
[Chorus]
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might end up being me
(Being me, being me)
