Lyrics Yael Naim – Coward

I miss my friends and my guitar
And knowing I can travel far
But now I’m only standing here
Completely paralyzed with fear

The fear of who I’ll come to be
Of all the weaknesses 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 our two created three?
But can I let go of the thrill
Turn it into something real

But how did I become a coward?
How did I become a coward?
How did I become a coward?
How did I become a…
How did I become a…
How did I become a coward?
(Coward, coward, coward…)

Little girl, little boy
Do you feel my fear and do you feel my joy?

And now a voice inside my head
Is telling me to go ahead
You’re not (coward! coward!)

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?
How did I become a…
How did I become a…
How did I become a coward?
