Scaredy-Cat

Everytime you know what’s next
And you got the world in front of you
Everytime you face a test
And your life’s within your power to choose

Everytime you get a chance
But you know that there might be a risk
Everytime you think you can
But you know that there might be a risk

You turn around and run away,
You say you didn’t mean it like that,
You’ve got your tail between your legs
Just like a fuckin’ scaredy-cat

Yesterday I had a choice
She was ready to apologize  
I could hear it in her voice
But I couldn’t look her in the eye

I turned around and ran away
Said I didn’t mean it like that
Had my tail between my legs
Just like a fuckin’ scaredy-cat

I turned around and ran away
Said I didn’t mean it like that
Had my tail between my legs
Just like a stupid scaredy-cat

I had a chance I didn’t take
I said I didn’t care about that
I ran around and turned away
Just like a fucking scaredy-cat
