I'm Scared

It's not that I'm scared
yes I am, I won't lie
Every time I leave my room
something makes me cry inside,
but how can you live a life without loving
because you're afraid of losing,
not sleeping for fear of dreaming.
That's not the way to live.

It's not that I'm afraid,
yes I am I won't lie
I long to be a braver soul
fire in my eyes you'd see.
But how can you love, yet keep hold of your feelings.
Obsession and confusion.
Jealousy. Leaving.
That's not the way to live.

In my school days,learning days,growing days,
I saw all the subtle ways
life could make you feel bad.
But in these days new ways can you amaze
me with all the other ways
life could make you feel good

Don't want to be scared
yes I am I won't lie
could you prove to me that love
has another side.
Tenderness has with friendship and healing
the power to get out of hand,
but not loving for fear of getting hurt,
that's not the way to live.
