I walk down the street
And pull my hoodie up
I pray I will not meet
A person I do not know

For the fear of them stabbing me
Or choking me
Oh the life I would have if I would be set free
Of this damn paranoia

I glance over my shoulder
And I see a man following
I remember what he told her
My best friend before he raped her

She was so gullible and carefree
She just let him walk into her life
No worries she could see
In this strangers eyes

And now the stranger still follows
And I am at a run
Now I pray for my life
And I hope he doesn't have a gun

Crying now
My heart beats faster
For my life this run will save me
For eternal disaster

I see my house
Oh thank god
I run in and lock the door
And I stay as quiet as a mouse

No one will find me here
Or so I thought
Until I saw this other man
Looking through my money pot

He is a robber
No, he doesn't want the money
He wants me
Dear god what have I done
Call 911, call 911

So the cops arrive
And I break a sweat
For the guy in the shadows
Wasn't a threat

Turns out it was just my dad
Getting money for a candy bar
I feel stupid
And this paranoia makes me sad

I cannot sleep at night
My world is altered
Save me from this paranoia
Before my whole life is faltered
