Scared to Live - Justin Alexander

Scared to Live Lyrics

Kelly spends her time staring out the window
Like a cat that's never been outside
Her dreams lay cold against her pillow
Always scratching at the back of her mind
and though she fakes a smile
something just ain't right
Cuz it takes a leap of faith, to get out there and fly
And it begs the question why are we so afraid to live?
Because time wont wait for anyone
You only get what you put in
So many people waste their time
Worried about what could have been
But when we look back on our lives
We'll say "Once upon a time, we weren't scared to live"
No no no we weren't scared to live...

Johnny spends his time alone in the basement
Writing songs on his guitar
Because he knows if he has the patience
He could be a big rockstar
His friends and teachers tell him, it's just a waste of time
Because they never had the courage to get up there and try
And it begs the question why are we so afraid to live?
Because time won't wait for anyone
This is the only chance you get
So many people waste their time
Scared to try they'll never win
But when we look back on our lives
We'll say "Once upon a time, we weren't scared to live"
You only live once, so don't think twice
If you waste your time, you pay the price
Looking back on all that you could have done, and could have been
So don't be scared to roll the dice
and if you fail, at least you tried
and that is more than most can ever say, they've ever done, and probably ever will...
And it begs the question why are we so afraid to live?
Because time won't wait for anyone...
