about

'If I Wasn't Scared' assumes a man's perspective of a relationship as he struggles to balance his feelings with a 'tough guy' image, particularly among 'the boys'. It is a toxic masculinity tale that strips back cold layers of indifference and questions the fear that it uncovers.

lyrics

Living in a dream, I still think I’m seventeen and I can’t grow up. I don’t want to ‘cause
It’s kinda suiting me, making you my in-between and it’s not my fault I don’t know enough.
I won’t keep you close, won’t let you go,
I just need to know you’ll hold onto hope,
Hold onto hope.
And I would have ran to you if I wasn’t scared.
Make my heart start, head stop, come over and pick you up baby if I cared.
Oh I would have ran to you if I wasn’t scared.
Won’t you love me anyway? Promise there would come a day, baby I’d be there,
If I wasn’t scared.
If I wasn’t scared, if I wasn’t scared.
Don’t you know, what I didn’t do, I didn’t have to?
Don’t you know, what you didn’t say was what you had to?
I am in-between man, in-between land’s where I am,
And if you come on over here then that is what you’ll have.
I won’t keep you close, won’t let you go,
I just need to know you’ll hold onto hope,
Hold onto hope.
And I would have ran to you if I wasn’t scared.
Make my heart start, head stop, come over and pick you up baby if I cared.
Oh I would have ran to you if I wasn’t scared.
Won’t you love me anyway? Promise there would come a day, baby I’d be there,
If I wasn’t scared.
If I wasn’t scared, if I wasn’t scared.
Hold onto, hold onto hope,
Hold onto, hold onto hope,
I am in-between man in-between lands,
And I would have ran to you if I wasn’t scared.
Make my heart start, head stop, come over and pick you up baby if I cared.
Oh I would have ran to you if I wasn’t scared.
Won’t you love me anyway? Promise there would come a day, baby I’d be there,
If I wasn’t scared, if I wasn’t scared,
if I wasn’t scared, if I wasn’t scared,
If I wasn’t scared, if I wasn’t scared, Oh, oh, oh-oh.
