Not Afraid
ATTACK ATTACK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you recommend this?
Forget everything you were told when you were young
You won't ever need to rely on the words you know
Untangle the truth from the lies and the webs you spun
There's time to save this, so let's not waste it

This is ours so don't you throw it all away
Listen now before you throw it all away
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid to face the truth today
It's hard to believe in the truth when the damage is done

Only you can erase the mistakes of the past from our memories
Untangle the truth from the lies and the webs you spun
There's time to save this, so let's not waste it
One chance to save this, so let's not waste it

This is ours so don't you throw it all away
Listen now before you throw it all away
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid to face the truth today

I'm not afraid I'm not afraid to face the truth
I'm not afraid I'm not afraid of facing you
I'm not afraid I'm not afraid to face the truth
I'm not afraid

This is ours so don't you throw it all away
Listen now before you throw it all away




I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid to face the truth today
