I miss my friends and my guitar
Knowing I can travel far
But now I'm only standing here
Completely paralyzed with fear

The fear of who I'll come to be
Of all the weaknesses in me
I truly thought I was prepared
But now I'm panicked and I'm scared

But how did I become a coward ?
How did I become a coward ?
How did I become a coward ?
How did I become a coward ?
(Coward, coward, coward...)

I lived alone and I was free
To do whatever came to me
But I was craving to share
If only I could ever dare

To care for someone else but me
If I were two, created three
But can I let go of the thrill
Turn it into something real
But how did I become a coward ?
How did I become a coward ?
How did I become a coward ?
How did I become a ...
How did I become a ...
How did I become a coward ?
(Coward, coward, coward...)

Little girl, little boy
Do you feel my fear ?
And do you feel my joy ?
Now you've entered my body
Straight to my heart
And into my soul
Grow, grow

And now a voice inside my head
Is telling me to go ahead
You're not (coward ! coward ! ...)

But how did I become a coward ?
How did I become a coward ?
How did I become a coward ?
How did I become a coward ?
How did I become a ...
How did I become a ...
How did I become a coward ?
