I'm Afraid I Love You

(album: Here Goes Nothing! - 2022)

I wish I said it better
I was on the lookout for a fancy group of letters
To come out of my mouth
So you would think that I was clever
And maybe not the hot mess I've been all through this endeavor
So I just wanna follow up

And say that you mean everything to me
But I'm still so scared to tell the truth
I'm afraid I love you
I'm afraid I love you

I wish when were together
You would say you'll never leave
But that's a dire measure not based in reality
'Cause you could pull the lever
Or the rug from underneath my feet
And laugh with pleasure while I scream internally

And you say you mean everything to me
But I'm still so scared it's not the truth
I'm afraid I love you
I'm afraid I love you

Here goes nothing, I'm cliff jumping
Well without a parachute and here's the truth
I'm afraid I love you
