Not Afraid To Try

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I kept my hands in my pockets Kept my hopes in a box Let the world move around me While my courage ran off You came in like Sunday morning Through the crack in the door You said "stay here a little" And I wanted more [Pre-Chorus] Now my chest feels lighter When you say my name Old fears start fading When you pull me close and say [Chorus] And so baby, have I told you lately, you’re the only reason why I’m not afraid to try And so baby, have I told you lately, you’re the reason I still reach for the sky (Reach for the sky) You make the dark look smaller You make my heart stand up And so baby, have I told you lately, you’re the only reason why I’m not afraid to try [Verse 2] I was all careful edges All closed doors and "maybe" Then you laughed at my silence Like you knew how to save me Now I leave the porch light burning Not for ghosts, not for rain Just in case I need to follow Your voice through the pain [Pre-Chorus] Now my chest feels lighter When you say my name Old fears start fading When you pull me close and say [Chorus] And so baby, have I told you lately, you’re the only reason why I’m not afraid to try And so baby, have I told you lately, you’re the reason I still reach for the sky (Reach for the sky) You make the dark look smaller You make my heart stand up And so baby, have I told you lately, you’re the only reason why I’m not afraid to try [Bridge] If I fall, you catch the pieces If I shake, you hold on tight You don’t just love the version That was easy to like You love the scared one The one I hide And baby, that’s why I can open my eyes [Final Chorus] And so baby, have I told you lately, you’re the only reason why I’m not afraid to try And so baby, have I told you lately, you’re the reason I still reach for the sky (Reach for the sky) You make the dark look smaller You make my heart stand up And so baby, have I told you lately, you’re the only reason why I’m not afraid to try [Outro] Not afraid to try Not afraid to try With you, I’m not afraid to try
