Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I miss my friends and my guitar
Knowing I can travel far
But now I'm only standing here
Completely paralyzed with fear
[Verse 2]
The fear of who I come to be
Of all the weaknesses in me
I truly thought I was prepared
But now I'm panicked and I'm scared
[Verse 3]
But how did I become a coward?
How did I become a coward?
How did I become a coward?
How did I become a coward?
(Coward, coward, coward, coward)
(Coward, coward, coward, coward)
(Coward, coward, coward, coward)
[Verse 4]
I lived alone and I was free
To do whatever came to me
But I was craving to share
If only I could ever dare
[Verse 5]
To care for someone else but me
If I were two, created three
But can I let go of the thrill
Turn it into something real
[Verse 6]
But how did I become a coward?
How did I become a coward?
How did I become a coward?
How did I become a
How did I become a
How did I become a coward?
(Coward, coward, coward, coward)
(Coward, coward, coward, coward)
[Verse 7]
Little girl, little boy
Do you feel my fear?
And do you feel my joy?
Now you've entered my body
Straight to my heart
And into my soul
Grow, grow
[Verse 8]
And now a voice inside my head
Is telling me to go ahead
You're not
(Coward, coward, coward, coward)
(Coward, coward, cow-)
[Verse 9]
But how did I become a coward?
How did I become a coward?
How did I become a coward?
How did I become a
How did I become a
How did I become a coward?
