Afraid to Die

by Jennifer Pitcock

Verse One
I passed the road the other day
Where I knew that I'd find you.
You didn't even stop to say
That the things I'd heard weren't true.
You weren't afraid to walk away
From a life with a different sky,
So why are you afraid to die?
Why are you afraid to die?

Verse Two
I passed the house the other day
Where I knew you wouldn't be.
You packed your bags and moved away,
And now you're living on the streets.
You weren't afraid to turn your back
And leave your friends behind,
So why are you afraid to die?
Why are you afraid to die?

V erse Three
I saw your girl the other day,
The one you said you'd never leave.
Because of you, she's run away,
Silly girl, she still believes.
You weren't afraid to kill a dream
And replace it with a lie,
So why are you afraid to die?
Tell me why are you afraid to die?

Bridge
Well, you should've thought of the consequences
A long time ago.
You had it all, you had everything,
And you let it all go.
And now that something's gone wrong
In your master plan of life,
You seem to be afraid to die.
It's too late to be afraid to die.

(break)

Verse Four
I passed your grave the other day,
Brought some flowers from Mama and me.
I started to get up and walk away,
But then a thought took hold of me.
You weren't afraid to take on the world
And get stabbed with a six inch knife,
So why were you afraid to die?
Why were you afraid to die?
Why, oh why, were you afraid to die?
