To live without a savior, answer to his name Shouldn't be afraid, shouldn't be ashamed Like a kid behind the counter, remembering your name Shouldn't be afraid, shouldn't be ashamed If it's not like I told ya Then it's still your call You should live how you want Stay with me, we should stay apart Just shouldn't ever have to be this hard Like a man on the sidewalk, remembering your face Shouldn't look away, shouldn't be afraid He remembers when they still wore gaiters, World War One Shouldn't be afraid, shouldn't be ashamed As if it's not like I told you Then it's still your call You should live how you want Stay with me, we should stay apart Just shouldn't ever have to be this hard
