I'm all for love... but sometimes it sure does scare the ever freakin' daylights out of me.
lyrics
I know it's not the smile that you hoped you'd see.
You thought that I'd fall in love more easily.
I take my time, I don't believe in meant to be.
But there's moments that I feel, glances that confuse me,
Pretending, almost real, chances that seduce me into ohhh...
I must appear to live in hesitation.
I draw my lines, have rules and limitations.
It's who I am but somehow you are patience.
And there's moments that I feel, glances that confuse me,
Pretending, almost real, chances that seduce me into ohhh...
I don't want to lose myself,
Wake up with nothing left,
Lose the sun while clinging to the moon.
Maybe this is right, I know,
But I'm afraid of letting go.
I don't want to smile too soon.
You give, I take, I haven't learned how to forget.
I wonder when you'll take back all the words you've said.
'Cause love is blind and I'm not done with seeing yet.
But there's moments that I feel, glances that confuse me.
Pretending, almost real, chances that seduce me into ohhh...
I don't want to lose myself,
Wake up with nothing left,
Lose the sun while clinging to the moon.
Maybe this is right, I know,
But I'm afraid of letting go.
I don't want to smile too soon.
