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

(Chorus)
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

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

(Chorus)
