I miss my friends and my guitar
Knowing I can travel far
But now I'm only standing here
Completely paralyzed with fear

The fear of who I come to be
Of all the weaknesses is in me
I truly thought I was prepared
But now I'm panicked and I'm scared

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...)

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

To care for someone else but me
If I were to create a three
But can I let go off the three
And turn it into something real

But how did I become a coward?
