About the song
Scaredy Cat is about someone who struggles with fear, self-doubt, and feeling trapped within herself. Despite this fear, she continues to encourage herself. It shows how difficult it can be to understand yourself and ask for help, but also that that is completely okay.
Tippy toes, little by little, we’re getting there
But in the end, slowly, I’m crawling back
But it’s okay, we all get scared sometimes
Don’t know why, but I can’t seem to win this fight within
What do you want to do?
Isn’t there anything high on that list of yours?
Don’t be such a scaredy cat,
Every day I tell myself
I keep on asking for help
Don’t even know myself?
Rain is falling, it’s time to hide again
I wish, oh I wish, I could change myself like this
I wish, oh I wish, I would dare
But nothing ever goes the way I planned
Whoever knows the way you’re supposed to live your life?
What do you want to do?
Isn’t there anything high on that list of yours?
Don’t be such a scaredy cat,
Every day I tell myself
When will you finally re-realise,
That the world’s not as bad as you think
Don’t be such a scaredy cat
Every day I tell myself
I keep on asking for help
Don’t even know myself
Rain is falling, it’s time to hide again
And every time I want to run away,
I feel these chains holding me back
When will I finally see the sunset?
[Flute Solo]
Don’t be such a scaredy cat,
Every day I tell myself
I keep on asking for help
Don’t even know myself
Rain is falling, it’s time to hide again
