I'm truly, deeply in love
But I am really scared
To you, my darling
Mu soul has been bared.
Please don't use this against me
Please don't make me cry
For me to be honest about my true feelings
I really had to try.
I know I'm not easy to get along with
I know sometimes I do thinks wrong
But Baby, what you have to understand
Is that I've never been emotionally strong.
There's still so much you don know
Things about my past
You say you can handle it
That our love will last.
But I've heard this line
heard it so many times before
And each and every time
They've said they can't take it no more.
So this is why I'm so careful
It isn't because I don't care
It's because I can't help but wonder
Just how long you'll be there.
I'm not hiding anything from you
It's just that I am reserved
It's only because of all the lies
That I have always heard.
Please believe me when I say
I really am trying
It's you who has saved me
from emotionally dying.
Please just give me
a little more time
If you could do that
We'll be just fine.
