Marina & The Diamonds - Too Afraid Lyrics






I wanna change but I don't know how
I've been trying to turn my life around
I've been to every party, every bar
Nothing thrills me in this city anymore

I guess I didn't know if I was happy (ah)
I can't pretend, I can't pretend
Been feeling like I don't belong
And I see (ah) I've reached an end, I've reached an end

What, well what can I do?
I hate this city but I stay 'cause of you
Why, well why can't I change?
I wanna move on but I'm just too afraid

Just too afraid
Just too afraid
Just too afraid
That's why I stay

Get on the train, I go underground
People look so lonely, with eyes turned down
This isn't living, this isn't how
I thought my life would be
God I need to get out

Nothing's gonna change the way I feel (ah)
I can't pretend, I've reached an end

What, well what can I do?
I hate this city but I stay 'cause of you
Why, well why can't I change?
I wanna move on but I'm just too afraid

Just too afraid
Just too afraid
Just too afraid
That's why I stay
Just too afraid
Just too afraid
Just too afraid
That's why I stay

Aah, it could all be different
Aah, in this life
Change your future in an instant
Aah, just to feel alive

What, well what can I do?
I hate this city but I stay 'cause of you
Why, well why can't I change?
I wanna move on but I'm just too afraid

Just too afraid
Just too afraid
Just too afraid
That's why I stay
Just too afraid
Just too afraid
Just too afraid
That's why I stay

That's why I stay
That's why I stay

  1. B.... ....

    I know it's hard and you're afraid
    I know you're scared of the change
    I know you're fighting to find a way
    I know you're wondering why you should stay
    But know my love that everything's going to be okay
    ❤️ Don't shine like a star, let your beauty explode like a supernovae ❤️

  2. V.... B....

  9. B.... _....

    Does the intro sound like Lana to anyone else or is it just me?

  10. c.... ....

    honestly this song is quite relatable. the only reason i’m even staying in my current town is because of my friends and girlfriend. they’re so sweet and i just couldn’t imagine leaving them, even though almost everything else around me is shitty or subpar

  11. R.... S....

    We need a music vídeo for this one

  12. E.... F....

    1:27
    Me when my friends says that Marina it’s a bad singer

  13. S.... Q....

    I hate this city but i stay cause of you....to my daughter

  14. D.... A....

    This is the only L+F song I keep coming back to. It has that emotion reminiscent of her previous work.

  15. V.... R....

    essa cantora é gata demais

  16. F.... G....

  22. A.... B....

    You always make me cry, Marina. Specially this one.

  23. S.... O....

    Marina, you're the BEST!!!💕💕💕 #TooAfraid

  24. f.... l....

    one of my favs

  25. L.... O....

    This is a beautiful song... how I feel about Toronto coming from a small town I don't understand how people walk past each other looking like zombies and when you smile at someone they look right through you... so many people around yet this is the loneliest I've felt in my entire life

  26. G.... I....

    That 'Ah' though.

  27. W.... ....

    this is so underrated

  28. b.... l....

    reminds me of Euphoria

  29. B.... A....

    I absolutely love this song, I relate to the lyrics alot, and it sounds soooo good.

  30. L.... C....

    I just discovered Marinas music and Im upset I haven’t discovered it sooner

  31. G.... M....

    "This isn't living, this isn't how I thought my life would be" 😥

  32. c.... a....

    invented music

  33. W.... ....

    I love this so much I'm screaming

  34. a.... f....

    ❤️❤️❤️ one of my favourites!

  35. B.... d....

    My life in one song

  36. T.... B....

    The beginning reminds me of LDR which is not a bad thing so no offence. Really feel the "I hate this city" part.

  37. P.... K....

    Truly emotionally beautiful ! I love listening it while I'm in public transport! 💗 💓 💕 💖 💞 💘

  38. h.... ....

    Omg, I love your honesty. This is so raw and real.

  39. M.... B....

    Beautiful <3

  40. T.... ....

    I think this is the less song in views because the people know how much this song hurts I think...
    is so vulnerable and quite sad... OMG I think so much people can relate w all of this ...

  41. T.... ....

    GRAMMY.

  42. H.... ....

    My favorite song in the album. UGH, YOU GET ME EVERY TIME!!! 🖤🖤🖤

  43. M.... B....

    ARTE <3

  44. r.... ....

    This song alone was worth the entire wait. My god she is simply everything.

  45. P.... G....

    I've been following Marina since 2010-2011 more less and every album she releases is kind of a description of what is happening in my life in that moment, it's just like she's there to give me the perfect song to find my way, get all my feelings out of my chest or to define what I'm passing through. Thanks for growing up with me even if you don't even know about my existence XD Love you <3

  46. G.... A....

    The best song in the whole album <3

  47. j.... c....

    Não há outra artista que retrate melhor o que eu to sentindo ❤

  48. L.... S....

    i've never related to a song more

  49. S.... 2....

    This is why I stay with Marina! <3

  50. p.... ....

    "i hate this city but i stay cause of you"
    that line hit me hard

  51. J.... R....

    The "you" is my anxiety.. that's why I stay..

  52. A.... W....

    This song is too relatable I’m crying

  53. a.... ....

    damn where was this song 5 years ago

  54. J.... H....

    This is quite nice but everything on Froot is obstinately superior.

  55. j.... ....

    I wanna change, but I don't know how
    I've been trying to turn my life around
    I've been to every party, every bar
    Nothing thrills me in this city anymore
    I guess I didn't know if I was happy (Ah)
    I can't pretend, I can't pretend
    Been feeling like I don't belong, and I see (Ah)
    I've reached an end, I've reached an end
    What, well, what can I do?
    I hate this city, but I stay 'cause of you
    Why, well, why can't I change?
    I wanna move on, but I'm just too afraid
    Just too afraid, just too afraid
    Just too afraid, that's why I stay
    Get on the train, I go underground
    People look so lonely with eyes turned down
    This isn't living, this isn't how I thought my life would be
    But I need to get out
    Nothing's gonna change the way I feel (Ah)
    I can't pretend, I've reached an end
    What, well, what can I do?
    I hate this city, but I stay 'cause of you
    Why, well, why can't I change?
    I wanna move on, but I'm just too afraid
    Just too afraid, just too afraid
    Just too afraid, that's why I stay
    Just too afraid, just too afraid
    Just too afraid, that's why I stay
    Ah, it could all be different
    Ah, in this life
    Change your future in an instant
    Ah, just to feel alive
    What, well, what can I do?
    I hate this city, but I stay 'cause of you
    Why, well, why can't I change?
    I wanna move on, but I'm just too afraid
    Just too afraid, just too afraid
    Just too afraid, that's why I stay
    Just too afraid, just too afraid
    Just too afraid, that's why I stay
    That's why I stay
    That's why I stay

    Its not the place. It is you. You have to choose to be happy where you are. If you are miserable before you go then you will probably still be miserable in the next place... and the next... and the next...

  57. J.... ....

    0:16 “Turn my life around” is sang in the same melody as “Enjoy your life”

    Marina = Musical Goddess

  87. /.... \....

    i have ‘The Outsider’ vibes

  88. E.... S....

    Most relatable song ever. This is so real and I wish there was more music this deep. I love Marina. ❤

  89. M.... G....

    Is there any song more beautiful?

  90. R.... V....

    Marina saved my lifw

  91. B.... A....

    🙈el mejor album sii!!

  92. i.... h....

    This song really just punched me right in the gut with how much it fits my life at the moment, i was recently offered an opportunity to leave my hometown and move to a new city in a different state so i could start over and help fix problems ive been having with mental health and ive been wondering if turning that opportunity was the wrong choice. I fucking swear its like marina is lurking in my head

  93. R.... V....

    Her penchant for a classical vocal shines through ✨love those trills ... No fear, only love for this concept album... Absolutely belting piece of #bopart

    R.... V....

    Where did you hear trills?

  94. L.... G....

    I don't know which city she's referring to but sure sounds a whole lot like London just from the train lyric alone

    L.... G....

    I feel like it’s more about being held back by a relationship, wherever you are you feel stuck because of who you’re with. I don’t think she hates London lol but idk I guess it’s up for interpretation ❤️

  95. J.... T....

    All of her songs make me emotional. I love her
