Analysis of I'm Afraid I'm Not Afraid
I kept myself inside my pocket
Took an easy step and always locked it
But then they pushed one day
And the fear cowered away
Seems like I've hit a fortunate streak
So I'm gonna use it and hope it repeats
Cous if you watch the clouds
You will never plow
Cous I'm afraid I'm not afraid
I try to act the part
Pretend to fear the art
But I'm afraid I'm not afraid
Maybe I'm a fool for it
Maybe I'll be cut short
But I'm afraid I'm not afraid
Don't worry for my pride
That's not what I'm in here for
I know that I might cry
But I know that I'll be fine
Yeah I'm afraid I'm not afraid
I'm sorry my mistake
But I'm afraid I'm not afraid
