Afraid To Say - Justin Bieber

I’m afraid to say the wrong thing

Criticized from every angle

And I’m afraid to lay it on the line

And selfishly I wanna hold back

Do we got the room to make mistakes?

Are we judged for everything we said?

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

I wanna grow but I’m afraid (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

And will it always be the same?

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Does what I gotta say even matter?

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Is life about climbing up the ladder (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

And can we even see lives that are shattered?

'Cause I’m really tryna silence the chatter

What have we done with society?

When everybody’s getting canceled

And can’t there be room for maturity?

'Cause writing 'em off is not the answer

Do we got the room to make mistakes?

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, do we?)

Are we judged for everything we said?

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, are we?)

I wanna grow but I’m afraid (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

And will it always be the same?

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Does what I gotta say even matter?

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Is life about climbing up the ladder (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

And can we even see lives that are shattered?

'Cause I’m really tryna silence the chatter

What have we done with society?

When everybody’s getting canceled (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

And can’t there be room for maturity?

'Cause writing 'em off is not the answer

We can’t write people off

God never writes us off

Even in our darkest days, even when we least deserve it

Even when we’re doing that stupid thing we wish we weren’t doing

God never writes us off, ever

He’s with us in our pain, He’s with us in our struggle

He’s with us in our bad decisions

He’s with us all the time, He never writes us off (He never writes us off)

You formed the whole of me (Ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, oh)

Inward and out (Ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, oh)

I am awesomely and wonderfully created (Ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, oh)

Your creations are spectacular

You skillfully designed me (Ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, oh)

You saw the essence of me, before I was formed

Before I existed, all of my days were written in your book

Psalms 139:13−16
