a lot faster.

LYRICS:
Verse:
I made this bed
I choose to lie in it
Live with my regrets
Sleep with what I said
Could this be the end
Am I standing on the edge
Of everything I wanted now
Pre-chorus:
I was afraid
I was afraid
Chorus:
Maybe I'm too scared
To face the things I fear
It's easier to walk away from everything
Verse 2:
Separate my soul
With all the things we shared
I'm falling to pieces now
Say a prayer for me (say a prayer for me)
When I go to sleep (cuz)
I'm in need of your faith now
Pre-chorus:
I was afraid
Chorus
Maybe I'm too scared
To face the things I fear
It's easier to walk away from everything
If we can just re-set
And live in happiness
Instead of our
Regrets to salvage everything
We don't have to walk away
Bridge:
Pray for me now
I'm in need of faith
Pray for me now
I'm in nee
Quiet verse:
Maybe I'm too scared
To face the things I fear
It's easier to walk away from everything
Chorus:
If we could just re-set
And live in happiness
Instead of our
Regreats to salvage everything
Maybe I'm too scared
Too face the things I fear
It's easier to walk away from everything
Walk away from everything
Walk away from everything
