Scared

I want to love you, but what can I do?

I'm scared of getting hurt

You tell me, 'I will never hurt you'

But how can I know for sure?

Your promises sound so enticing

And I wish I could believe in them

It sounds too good, I must be dreaming

Please don't wake me if I am

I'm so happy to hear that you'll wait

Because you know that I am not ready

But what if I love you much too late?

I can already feel the tears forming

I hope I do not hurt anyone

That would never be my intention

I want to love you, that day will come

For now I need your cooperation

I have been hurt before, so badly

And to make a mistake again could be bad

I want to love you, I do already

The thought of hurting you is sad

So I'm telling you now to wait a while

I just need a little more time

So cheer up, please smile

There'll be a day when I can call you mine.
