lyrics

I’m afraid of failing you
But let’s face the truth
It’s something I am prone to do
It’s not that I want to

I’m afraid of loving you
It’s not that I don’t
But if I get too close
It will all fall through
It will all fall through

What should I do
If I’m too afraid to get too close to you
But I want to
But I want to

I’m afraid of hurting you
But if I hide away
If I give into what my thoughts say
What will I lose
I might break too
Will I pull through
Will I pull through

What should I do
If I’m too afraid to get too close to you
But I want to
But I want to

I can’t give you what you’re used to
No matter how hard I try
No matter what I say or do
Let's face the truth

What should I do
If I'm too afraid to get too close to you
What should I do
If I’m too afraid to get too close to you
But I want to
But I want to
