lyrics

Autumn comes and I can barely breathe
The lover of my life ripped from underneath
I tell my dad, "I'm trying the best I can"
I'm on the cusp of becoming my own band
And now comes the part, that we so badly want to forget
'Cos when she's gone, I just don't know what'll happen next
So what happens next?

Eighteen doesn't speak, it only screams.
I'm growing up and I don't know what to think
Do as you're told, and you better not object
Fall into line, well, this line is just a mess
I look around, and see the faces of those I love
Growing up means leaving
That's exactly what it does

Pick apart my future and tell me there'll never be anything left
Tell me I'm a failure if I don't comply and be "just like the rest"
I am so afraid of whatever might happen next
But it's okay to be afraid
Of what happens next

Little boy moves up to a bigger town
"You better learn to swim or else you'll drown"
"New York or Nashville, doesn't matter where you land"
It's getting hard to feel okay again

So scared of disappointing all the people that I do respect
I wanna show my parents that I'm alright, and I'm one of the best
I am so afraid of whatever might happen next
But it's okay to be afraid
Of what happens next

It's okay to be afraid.
