I love you and I need you
Yet I’m scared to let you in
I reach my hand to meet yours
When you reach back I run away-
As if for my life.
I’m fighting against what I ache for
Doing my best to chase you away
And holding on so tightly
Afraid you’ll really leave
Just knowing you’ll soon be gone.
How can I stop this madness
Irrational as it is?
That charade has gone on too long
This game of hiding myself
I want to feel love
Based on who I am
On who you are.
