“Not Afraid of My Heart” came about on one of my worst days in 2019. They say that out of every dark moment, something beautiful is created and that’s what I feel this song epitomizes. It’s got an inspiring message with a little bit of my sassy flavor on it that creates a solid dance-pop record. Originally slated to be the first single from my upcoming album, quarantine had me wanting to share it early. That’s what’s amazing about being an independent artist -you get to call the shots and do whatever just for the fun of it. This song is one of my favorites and I hope my fans love it just as much as I do. 💗💙
lyrics
I forgot how cold it used to be
When you were sleepin’ next to me
Froze’d up and I turned into ice
I’m so glad I thawed and came back to life
When you made my world a crater
You did me a favor
Bitterness I used to savor
Sippin’ on a better flavor
Fear tore me apart
Now I’m Not, I’m not
I’m Not Afraid of My Heart
[Chorus]
I’m Not Afraid of My Heart, no
I’m Not Afraid of My Heart
If you feel me, sing it now
I’m Not Afraid of My Heart, no
I’m Not Afraid of My Heart
If you feel me, sing it now
So stuck on lies that I believed
Same song every time left on repeat
Circles I ran, never winning first
You kept me from seeing what I deserved
Thought my chest was a graveyard
So empty like a cave, yeah
Used to think I need a savior
He ain’t even on the radar
Fear tore me apart
Now I’m Not, I’m not
I’m Not Afraid of My Heart
[Chorus]
I’m Not Afraid of My Heart, no
I’m Not Afraid of My Heart
If you feel me sing it now
Not afraid, Not afraid
Not afraid, Not afraid
Not afraid, Not afraid
I’m not afraid of it
I’m Not Afraid of My Heart
If you feel me sing it now
I, I choose survival
I’ll rise like a tidal wave
Free into the wild
Embracing revival
I, I choose survival
I’ll rise like a tidal wave
Free into the wild
Embracing revival
[Chorus]
I’m Not Afraid of My Heart, no
(You had me so convinced… and I was frozen)
I’m Not Afraid of My Heart
If you feel me sing it now
Not afraid, Not afraid (whoo)
Not afraid, Not afraid
Not afraid, Not afraid
I’m not afraid of it
I’m Not Afraid of My Heart
