Too Afraid - Marina

Too Afraid - Marina Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna change, but I don't know how
I've been trying to turn my life around
I've been to every party, every bar
Nothing thrills me in this city anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
I guess I didn't know if I was happy (Ah)
I can't pretend, I can't pretend
Been feeling like I don't belong, and I see (Ah)
I've reached an end, I've reached an end

[Chorus]
What, well, what can I do?
I hate this city, but I stay 'cause of you
Why, well, why can't I change?
I wanna move on, but I'm just too afraid

[Post-Chorus]
Just too afraid, just too afraid
Just too afraid, that's why I stay

[Verse 2]
Get on the train, I go underground
People look so lonely with eyes turned down
This isn't living, this isn't how I thought my life would be
God, I need to get out
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing's gonna change the way I feel (Ah)
I can't pretend, I've reached an end

[Chorus]
What, well, what can I do?
I hate this city, but I stay 'cause of you
Why, well, why can't I change?
I wanna move on, but I'm just too afraid

[Post-Chorus]
Just too afraid, just too afraid
Just too afraid, that's why I stay
Just too afraid, just too afraid
Just too afraid, that's why I stay

[Bridge]
Ah, it could all be different
Ah, in this life
Change your future in an instant
Ah, just to feel alive

[Chorus]
What, well, what can I do?
I hate this city, but I stay 'cause of you
Why, well, why can't I change?
I wanna move on, but I'm just too afraid
[Post-Chorus]
Just too afraid, just too afraid
Just too afraid, that's why I stay
Just too afraid, just too afraid
Just too afraid, that's why I stay

[Outro]
That's why I stay
That's why I stay2
