Lyrics

Album Version

Maybe someday I'll find my soul,
Maybe sometimes I'm out of control,
I lost my fears and all my dignity,
Maybe God is just afraid of me, yeah

I gave up everything and now I'm alone,
I should have listened to what you had told,
Although everything I had is gone,
I went insane from living too long

Now my feet are standing free,
Facing days of unknown dreams,
Children play the razor's blade,
Cut thy throat life washed away

Why can't I
Why can't I fall
Why can't I fall

God's afraid of me, yeah
God's afraid of me, yeah

Why can't I
Why can't I fall
Why can't I fall
