I'm so afraid of telling you
Just what's on my mind.
I'm just so scared of thinking, too
Afraid of what I'll find.
Living now without the truth
Is making love so blind.
But I just know I need you so
Why is it such a bind?
Do you still care the way you did?
Or is this just a lie?
Will we depart with broken hearts
To reconstruct our lives?
How can I know which way to go
When you don't seem to try?
So desperately I fight my fear
And outwardly I grin.
I hope and pray to God each day
To hide the pain within.
Each time your eyes come back to me
I'm lost in you, again....
The moments pass and, yes, at last
I'll know of what's to be
Each dream and wish for happiness
Keeps leading back to thee.
But if you're gone, I'll stumble on
Automatically.
I'll pick myself up off the floor
Too strong--I won't stay down.
And, hardened, I'll pursue my goals
With courage as my crown.
No one shall see the vulnerable me
For she will not be found.
