Lyrics Afraid No More - Jason Wade

Spent all those younger years surviving
When the mother and the father gave up trying
Yeah there was no one there to protect me from you
There are your parents, no one should ever have to

Yeah I knew that house was haunted
When you've invited in those doors I've never wanted
They broke right in and stole what's left of my youth
Getting older doesn't make it less true

I'm burning down that shack where I lived
Bolt up the windows walked out the door
Don't think I'll ever forget, but I forgive
No I ain't gonna be afraid no more

Built up this armor in my formative years
When I should've been playing with my friends
I was [?] my nightmares and fears
I was my last line of defense

And I don't know if this will ever make sense
And I don't know if it's supposed to
All I know is that I've gotta get to move on
'Cause I sense a better life I'm getting close to

I'm burning down that shack where I lived
Bolt up the windows walked out the door
Don't think I'll ever forget, but I forgive
So no I ain't gonna be afraid no more

Whatever memories wash up on my shore
Wherever this future sets its sail
Every breath is precious
I'll treasure every exhale
No I ain't gonna be afraid no more
No I ain't gonna be afraid no more
