about

“Scared Now” was inspired by that uh-oh, panicked feeling you get the moment you realize that you might be in over your head.

lyrics

I have lots of keys
But there’s lots of doors
But can I help you find
What you’re looking for?

I’ll be there for you
When you need me
Am I healing your wounds
Or making them bleed?

And I’m scared now
That I’ve pumped you up with false hope
And you’ll break down
With no hope of ever getting up
Because you’ve been here before
And stayed too long
And I don’t know
How this will end

Love like a sister
The one you never had
If I’m your protector
Then why’s your eye black?
I hate to see you blue
I hate to see you hurt
Do you like me around
Or do I make things worse?

And I’m scared now
That I’ve pumped you up with false hope
And you’ll break down
With no hope of ever getting up
Because you’ve been here before
And stayed too long
And I don’t know
How this will end

I’m sorry for what I said
I thought it was the truth
I worked with the scraps I had
I just wanted to help you
