[Verse]
I hold her close but I hold her light
Her eyes like fire in the quiet night
She whispers dreams of a future near
But my heart breaks with every fear
[Verse 2]
Her hands are warm but mine are cold
She deserves a love that's brave and bold
She's building castles with her tender care
While I tremble
Frozen
Too scared to dare
[Chorus]
I'm afraid of forever
Afraid I can't be
The man that she deserves
The man she sees in me
I love her too much to hold her back this way
But I love her too much to let her drift away
[Verse 3]
I can't give her diamonds
Can't give her gold
Only stories of a heart that's tired and old
She paints her world in colors so divine
While my canvas bleeds in black and wine
[Chorus]
I'm afraid of forever
Afraid I can't be
The man that she deserves
The man she sees in me
I love her too much to hold her back this way
But I love her too much to let her drift away
[Bridge]
I stare at the mirror
It cracks and speaks
A voice of doubt crying through my weak
But what if her love could be my spine
Could I climb the mountain and call her mine
