Im Afraid
Sara Bareilles
[Verse 1] I’m afraid of heights afraid of tryin’ I’m afraid I might have been a little stupid to write this song I’m afraid that during high winds A stop sign will uproot and decapitate me Or that I might thrive under Scientology [Verse 2] I’m afraid that after I die Someone will have sex with my dead body And be like "Not worth it" I’m afraid I could raise a son who’d get radicalized on Reddit Or that he’ll "Back to the Future" and I’ll think he’s hot I’m afraid that I’ll accidentally Text a pic of my vagina to my dad [Verse 3] And I’m afraid that on Ancestry.com I might find out I have a bunch of half siblings And they’ll want to be in my life [Verse 4] I’m afraid that if I got an awful disease I wouldn’t be brave I’d just be a bitch and be mean Or if I needed еmergency heart surgеry The doctor would go "Hello nipple hair" Sometimes I’m afraid to hold a new baby What if I lose control of my arms for a second? And throw it at the ceiling fan or something like that Cannnot trust my arms [Bridge] And I’m afraid that under every bus stop is a sinkhole of rats And I’m afraid they lie about expiration dates and my hummus is fungus And afraid that the second I leave town I’ll get a UTI Why can’t they just sell those pills over the counter? I don’t need a doctor I know exactly what it is [Verse 5] Oh back to my kid I have more stuff about him I only breastfed for four months is he gonna be a bond trader? And I’m afraid that I’m lucky enough to be 80 I’ll be one of those ladies who’s entire scalp is visible when the sun shines through her salmon colored hair [Verse 6] And I’m afraid that someone will find out That I memorize all the words to Macklemore’s "Thrift Shop" Or that I bought seven seasons of The Mentalist And of course I’m afraid that somewhere deep inside of me Is a lost tampon [Outro] Where did you go? Where did you go? I am afraid
