I Told You That I Was Afraid

I told you that I was afraid
That I would have a bad trip fall asleep and never wake
They told me back at school that it would happenI believed it ′til I didn't

I told you that I was afraid
Of stating my opinion in a clear and honest way
They told me in my youth it wasn′t needed
Some thoughts are best deleted
And everyone agreed it

I don't know what I'm getting up for (I don′t know, I don′t know)
I don't know what I′m getting up for

I'm not getting taller anymore
So, when I fall it′s always the same distance as before
You'd think that I′d learn to anticipate it
By the millionth time I ate it

I told you that I wasn't scared
That even if I fractured every bone I didn't care
I never told a lie so confidently
But you let me down so gently
The concrete barely bent me

I don′t know what I′m getting up for (I don't know, I don′t know)
I don't know what I′m getting up for

One more year, then I'll look at the score (I don′t know, I don't know)
I don't know what I′m getting up for

Kindly tell me a lie
Will you look me in the eye
And say it′ll all be alright in the end?

Kindly tell me a lie
Will you cross your heart and hope to die
It'll all be alright in the end?

Kindly tell me a lie
Will you look me in the eye
And say it′ll all be alright in the end?

Kindly tell me a lie
Will you cross your heart and hope to die?
Cross your heart and hope to die
Cross your heart and hope to die

I told you that I was afraid
That everyone around holds me in some secret disdain
That I was held a fool so far deluded (a fool so far deluded)
You told me that was stupid
But could never really prove it

I don't know what I′m getting up for (I don't know, I don′t know)
I don't know what I'm getting up for

One more year, then I′ll look at the score (I don′t know, I don't know)
I don′t know what I'm getting up for

I don′t know what I'm getting up for (I told you that I was afraid)
I don′t know what I'm getting up for (I told you that I was afraid)
One more year, then I'll look at the score
I don′t know what I′m getting up for
