The song "I'm Afraid" by Chris Brown is a painful lamentation of a man who realizes too late that he has taken his woman for granted. He starts by admitting that he feels crazy for feeling the way he does. He wonders what kind of a man he had become to be out there playing while his woman is caring for him. He hopes that she would listen because he has a lot to say, and he had been a fool for going crazy without her. He is overwhelmed by the realization that he is nothing without her.
In the chorus, he apologizes for his stupidity and asks his woman not to bury him alive because it's killing him inside. He confesses that he is afraid that she is cheating on him because he had neglected her trust. He acknowledges that he messed up, and his fear is that she will give up on him because he has done too much wrong. Hence, he pleads with her to focus on their love, which should be all about them.
In the verse, he talks about how he had taken his woman for granted. He acknowledges that she had never complained or been fed up with him, but he kept changing. He had once insulted her by saying that she was lame compared to other girls, and he failed to appreciate her value to him.

meio louco
Que eu me sinta assim
Amor, estou dizendo
Que tipo de homem
Eu me tornei para saber
Estar por aí jogando
Mas amor,
Tenho tanto a dizer
Espero que escute
Porque eu estive
sendo um tolo e louco
Sem você comigo.
Garota
Oh, porque , Oh porque , Oh porque
Eu fui estupido
Ultimamente
Garota
Eu peço desculpas, te devo isso
Amor, por favor
Não me enterre vivo
Porque está
Me matando por dentro
E eu não posso mentir garota
Ahhhhh
(Refrão)
Eu estou com medo
Que você esteja traindo
Deve ter sido
Meu amor eu
Negligencio sua confiança
Como se ela
Fosse o suficiente, eu baguncei tudo
Estou com medo
De que você esteja desistindo
Eu fiz tanta coisa
Meu amor agora
É tudo sobre nós
Tudo sobre
Tudo sobre é
Meu amor
É meio louco
Sobre mim,amor
Ela estava
Nunca reclamando
Ela nunca estava
Cheia de mim
Mas eu me mantive
Mudando por um tempo
Tive o nervo de dizer
Que ela estava dramatizando
Ela não podia comparar !
Aquelas outras garotas
Não me importaria
Em fazer acordo comigo
