Because
Anything Box Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(claude s.)

Because you're afraid,
You live in the darkness.
Because you're alone,
You think no one hears
You. but I'm still alive.
And I'm not afraid.
I'm still alive, and
I'm here to listen...


To anything you say,
Anything you need,
Anything you want,
Anything you plead,
Because I love you,
Because I love you,
And I'm not afraid.




I'm not afraid...
Not anymore...
