I’m gone
I met you one day
Such a long time ago
And you slowly took hold of my heart.
You showed me true love
But still I hid behind the barriers I was building.
You tell me that you understand.
You tell me you’ve been hurt before
You tell me you know how it feels
You tell me you love me
But how can you tell me that
When you don’t know the pain I’m feeling.
You’ve easily taken hold of my heart
And broken through the barriers
I spent so much time putting up.
How can you take bigger pieces of my heart?
Every time you see me when you know
just how hard it is for me to love you?
So much for the walls I’ve put up-
One look from you and they crash to the ground.
So much for the pain I’ve felt after
You envelope me in your arms
And I lose myself to your love.
But baby I’m afraid to want you.
I’m afraid to need you.
I’m afraid to love you.
I’m afraid to trust you.
But I’m too afraid to let you go.
I know you’re the one for me-
I know you would never try to hurt me.
But I fear the way we will end.
I don’t know that I could live
If my heart was broken again.
