I know that if you had your way we would be, all alone On this earth, laughing at birds on a wire, trembling But oh my god, I've been down here so long it hurts I've seen the earth crumble beneath pious men As their bones get weaker with sin If a minuteman came to protect me I'd have no worries, I would be free 'Cus the perils of love's unrequited Sting like a bullet, that I've never seen I'm scared to be me If a minuteman came to protect me I'd have no worries, I would be free 'Cus the perils of love's unrequited Sting like a bullet, that I've never seen I'm scared to be me He spread his love all through the hallways How could this happen? When will it end? We beg, steal and borrow Cus there's nothing that's sacred to them I'm scared to be me
