Nelly Furtado - Afraid lyrics

What they say what they say what they say.

You speak out all you feel is defiance

All you need is some self-reliance

Cuz this world is gonna always try us

And all you wanted was to run for cover

Well here's looking to yourself and no other

We're all searching for that special something

And we keep on running.

We all have the choice to take the lead or follow

I want to feel the light shine on me

You're so afraid of what people might say

But that's okay cuz you're only human

You're so afraid of what people might say

But that's okay you'll soon get strong enough

You're so afraid of what people might say

But that's okay cuz you're only human

You're so afraid of what people might say

You're going to break

So please don't do it.

You wanna spread your wings but you're not sure

Don't wanna leave your comforts

Wanna find a cure

We're afraid of who we see in the mirror

We wanna let got but it feels too pure

Who wants to be alone in this world

You look around and all you see is hurt

But the light it always guides us

If we move with a little trust.

A diamond don't define what shine is

I don't need a Rolex to know what the time is

You got yours let me find what mine is

I'm a survivor, look how strong my mind is

I stand on my own it's all me

Regardless of whatever they call me.

I'm a leader not a follower

And I'd rather be paid and popular

Ride homie get your dollars up

We're in the belly of the beast that already swallowed us.
