Verse 1:
There was an ugly kid in town
That no one wanted around.
He was not worth anything,
Just a silly ugly freak.
Sat all alone at school,
Self-hatred scarred fool.
Cried suicide down his cheek,
This world devours the weak.
Chorus:
What were they afraid of?
Was in need of someone\'s love.
What were they afraid of?
Were they afraid to love?
Verse 2:
A fat man slandered down,
Became the talk of the town.
He used to look like a freight,
Until he lost all of that weight.
But they never really cared,
But for gossip in the air.
Apathetic words tore apart
His lacerated heart.
Chorus:
What were they afraid of?
Was in need of someone\'s love.
What were they afraid of?
Were they afraid to love?
