New
"Scared" is a song written by Paul McCartney and produced by Giles Martin. It is the hidden track on McCartney's album "New" (2013).
΄΄(...) And then, best of all, there is that hidden track 'Scared': just one man and a piano with lines like "I'm scared to say I love you" exhibiting a fragility, a nakedness that we've not heard from McCartney in years. "We tried various things, various arrangements," says Giles. "But to me this had to be just him on his own. Funnily enough, I was talking to Ethan (Johns) about a thing his dad had said to him, which was 'When the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, you should just step back'. And 'Scared' is one of those. It's a great end to the album."΄΄

Paul McCartney was too scared to tell his wife he loved her when they first started dating. He told The Sun newspaper: "It can be quite hard to say 'I love you' to someone. I felt this with Nancy but to say it wasn't that easy." The resulting track is "Scared" and McCartney has stated that he is particularly proud of it.
Lyrics:
I'm scared to say I love you
Afraid to let you know
That the simplest of words won't come out of my mouth
Though I'm dying to let them go
Trying to let you know
I have to say I'm sorry
Don't feel sad for me
But the beautiful birds won't fly out of their cage
Though I'm trying to set them free
Trying to let you see, how much you mean to me
I remember the first time we met
Tears in our eyes reflecting
Something connecting from so long ago
It might have been told in the stars, maybe that's what is was
It doesn't matter because
I'm still too scared to tell you
Afraid to let you see see
That the simplest of words won't come out of my mouth
Though I'm dying to set them free
Trying to let you see, how much it means to me
How much you mean to me
How much you mean to me now
