Afraid To Say
Justin Bieber
[Intro] [Verse 1] I’m afraid to say the wrong thing Criticized from every angle And I’m afraid to lay it on the line And selfishly I wanna hold back [Chorus] Do we got the room to make mistakes? Are we judged for everything we said? (Ooh ooh ooh) I wanna grow but I’m afraid (Ooh ooh ooh) And will it always be the same? (Ooh ooh ooh) Does what I gotta say even matter? (Ooh ooh ooh) Is life about climbing up the ladder And can we even see lives that are shattered? ’Cause I’m really tryna silence the chatter What have we done with society? When everybody’s getting canceled And can’t there be room for maturity? ’Cause writing ’em off is not the answer [Chorus] Do we got the room to make mistakes? (Ooh ooh ooh do we?) Are we judged for everything we said? (Ooh ooh ooh oh are we?) I wanna grow but I’m afraid (Ooh ooh ooh) And will it always be the same? (Ooh ooh ooh) Does what I gotta say even matter? (Ooh ooh ooh) Is life about climbing up the ladder And can we even see lives that are shattered? ’Cause I’m really tryna silence the chatter What have we done with society? When everybody’s getting canceled (Oh oh-oh oh-oh) And can’t there be room for maturity? ’Cause writing ’em off is not the answer [Verse 2] We can’t write people off God never writes us off Even in our darkest days even when we least deserve it Even when we’re doing that stupid thing we wish we weren’t doing God never writes us off ever He’s with us in our pain He’s with us in our struggle He’s with us in our bad decisions He’s with us all the time He never writes us off (He never writes us off) [Outro] You formed the whole of me (Ooh ooh-ooh oh oh) Inward and out (Ooh ooh-ooh oh oh) I am awesomely and wonderfully created (Ooh ooh-ooh oh oh) Your creations are spectacular You skillfully designed me (Ooh ooh-ooh oh oh) You saw the essence of me before I was formed Before I existed all of my days were written in your book Psalms 139:13-16
