I'm Scared

Words and music by Brian May

You take me to the party

You put me on the stand

You're pumping up my heart

To the beating of the band

You toss it in the air

And you don't care where it lands

You take it, you break it

You're hurting me

Because I wasn't prepared

I couldn't go where you dared

You got my whole soul bared

I never knew that you cared (No it just ain't fair)

I'm scared (I'm scared)

I'm scared (so scared)

I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared

You take me out to dinner

And you swallow me whole

You're nothing but a sinner

With a dark black soul

I figured I could handle you

But I'm just a toy

You're getting bolder and bolder

You're just a bad bad boy

Because I wasn't prepared (I'm scared I'm scared)

I couldn't go where you dared (I'm scared I'm scared)

You got my whole soul bared (I'm so so scared)

I never knew that you cared (yeah yeah yeah)

I'm scared (I'm scared)

I'm scared (so scared)

I'm scared (afraid)

I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared

What you staring at

You're such a scaredy cat

When I know that I just can't fight it

So what you staring at

You're such a scaredy cat

Because I'm only scared that maybe I might like it

I'm scared to move,I'm scared of standing still

I'm scared to change,I'm scared to stay the same

I'm so scared I want to die

I'm scared of dying

I'm scared of not being liked,not being loved

I'm scared to be alone

I'm scared of being with people

I'm scared of disapproval

I'm scared of life

I'm scared to lose what I have built

I'm scared of feeling scared

I'm scared of being ugly,being boring,being dull

I'm scared of my thoughts

I'm scared of being found out

I'm scared of Steven Berkhoff

I'm scared to dance,I'm scared to speak,to sing

I'm scared my body's awkward, the wrong shape,wrong smell

I'm scared to say what I think

I'm scared to say no,or yes too often

I'm scared of disappointing

I'm scared of losing control

I'm scared of pain

I'm scared of hurting,being hurt

I'm scared this will go on 'til I die

I'm scared of losing my home,my love,my kids,my kids,my kids

I'm scared my heart will break

I'm scared of losing myself

I'm scared of finding myself

Because there might be no-one there at all

I'm scared of the unknown future

I'm scared to make a wrong turn

I'm scared of the dark

I'm scared of failing

I'm scared it may all be for nothing

You take me to the limit

You take me to the brink

You left me with the blues

When you found me in the pink

You know just what you're saying

But your metaphors stink

I gotta lick it,or stick it

Or this is the end

Because I wasn't prepared (because)

I couldn't go where you dared (because I'm)

You got my whole soul bared (because I'm so)

I never knew that you cared (I'm scared)

(I'm scared)

I'm scared (I'm scared)

I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared

I'm scared (I'm scared)

So scared (I'm scared)

I'm scared (I'm scared)

I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared

I'm scared
