Even now I can see that day The fear in your eyes Tell me why Were you so afraid Some things, they turn out this way Fire the bullet and find That you don't know what you left behind When we laid you to rest Tell me why were you so afraid Tell me why were you so afraid You walk this line You walk this line of hate Where two people are so blind Blind to the evil it creates Never say to much Never think out loud Tell me why were you so afraid Tell me why were you so afraid I know one day you'll find a way To heal the wounds I know one day you'll find a way To heal the wounds Tell me why were you so afraid Even now I can see that day The fear in your eyes You gave all you lived for Whilst you kept your pride Tell me why were you so afraid Tell me why were you so afraid
