Afraid

Baby, you know I'm not that kind of man
I did my best to give you everything
But there's too many scars covering your past
So you turned and ran away so fast

You were afraid, afraid
Of what might become of us
Afraid, Afraid
I want you to know that I love you, dear
There's absolutely nothing to fear from me

Baby, I know that you've been hurt before
By guys who had nothing in their hearts
You think it's safer on the other side
But that's just fear blinding your eyes

You were afraid, afraid
Of what might become of us
Afraid, Afraid
I know you've never felt like this
So you turned to flee at our first kiss that night

You say that you forced yourself to feel
Feelings that inside you think aren't real
But your words back then betray what you really felt
And now I know you're just lying to yourself

You were afraid, afraid
That I might bring you love
Afraid, afraid
That I might bring you hope
Afraid, Afraid
Of what might become of us
Afraid, Afraid
You know that I love you dear
There's no reason for you to fear
These feelings I have are so real
No reason for you to flee from me

Don't you wait too long
Or you'll find that I'll be gone
Whisked away, whisked away by someone else
