I have learned to live with the loneliness
And the sorrow in my heart
I know I have my self to blame
For ripping it apart

I tried to make it by my self
Tried to beat it on my own
Never let them see me cry
Pretended I was strong

Thought I never needed anyone
So I pushed them all away
So then when you came along
I never let you stay

I was afraid that you might love me
I was afraid that you might leave
Afraid that you might tell me
Tell me it’s not real

I was afraid that you might hurt me
I was afraid it would be true
Afraid that you would hate me
That I could not love you too

You stood beside when I cried
When nothing felt alright
You stood there when I fell apart
When day turned in to night

You told me I could trust in you
That every word was true
I’m sorry, I was blinded
The past was in my view

You said that you would never leave
All I needed was to shout
But I believe that it’s too late
I will always be in doubt

I was afraid that you might love me
I was afraid that you might leave
Afraid that you might tell me
Tell me it’s not real

I was afraid that you might hurt me
I was afraid it would be true
Afraid that you would hate me
That I could not love you too

I know that you’ve been hurt too
I’ve seen it in your eyes
But I was scared to ask you
Afraid to make you cry

Maybe if we could go back
To take it from the start
We will always be entwined
Even when we’re apart

But I’ve been pushing you away
One too many times
And it is too late to hope that you
Would read between the lines

I was afraid that you might love me
I was afraid that you might leave
Afraid that you might tell me
Tell me it’s not real

I was afraid that you might hurt me
I was afraid it would be true
Afraid that you would hate me
That I could not love you too
