{And I'm so scared...}

So terrified that you're going to hurt me again
That if I let my guard down I'll be torn apart
Want to trust you but need to protect my heart
Can't go through pain again, I'm not that strong

How is it that one person who can make me euphoric
Also holds the power to pull my world completely apart
"Love is all about giving someone power to destroy you"
Isn't it funny how true that proverb has suddenly become

{Still so terrified...}

Can remember what it felt like to be in your embrace
Those soft kisses on my neck, feeling safe and secure
But memories are still tarnished with a thousand tears
All those times my heart felt like it had been ripped out

Seem so genuinely sorry it's hard not to believe you
What if you're lying and again have me totally fooled
My head is warning me to be wary, you've hurt me before
Heart is telling me don't let go, thinking you're the one

{But what if my heart is wrong...}

Almost killed me the first time you decided to let me go
Know for certain that I couldn't go through that again
Decided to follow my heart, praying it's the right decision
Yet still that voice whispering I've made the wrong choice

Guess that only time will eventually give me the answer
Only hope it's the ones I've been searching for all along
How can one person feel so many conflicting emotions
Becoming a giant ball of confusion, no idea what to do

{Guess for now, only you know the answers...}
