And These Feelings That I Have Scare Me
But what I see scares me,
And what I know scares me,
Each day I face scares me,
And I'm scared that it will all scar me.
I can feel her here beside me
As I lay my head down to weep,
And she lifts it up and wipes away the tears
Without ever knowing I'm afraid.
I am oblivious to my own feelings
As I am to those she keeps inside.
I can't help but panic
And stand alone in the dark.
I can't see where I'm going
And I can't feel the way.
When she's here, I feel safe.
When she speaks, I feel calm.
When she touches me, I melt.
When she leaves me, I die.
Together we don't know the direction;
Apart, I am lost even more.
Not knowing she'll be there scares me,
Not knowing how she cares scares me more.
And these feelings that I have scare me.
