I'm scared
But I'd never tell you
I'm scared
To take that leap of faith
I'm scared
To be too vulnerable
I'm scared
To let you in
I'm scared
That you will see me
See me for who I am
And leave me stranded
I'm scared
To give you the power
Power to hurt me
To break me to pieces
I'm scared
That you won't choose me
That I'll never be the first
Not even the last.
So I do this
This is all I know
To push you away
Far away from me.
