“Scared of What I Feel”

(soft guitar intro — rain in background)

Verse 1

I learned young how hearts can break

How words can cut and people change

So now I hide behind my smile

Even when I wanna stay

And you…

You’ve been right there for years

Laughing through my guarded tears

Close enough to touch my hand

But I still don’t understand

Why somebody like you

Could ever love somebody damaged too

Pre-Chorus

So I bite my tongue

Every time you look my way

Cause my heart runs wild

But my fear makes me afraid

Chorus

I’m scared of what I feel

Scared you’ll see the scars too real

Scared my past might chase you off

Before we ever get this lost

Cause if I let you in tonight

And you leave like all the rest might

I don’t know if I could survive

Watching my future say goodbye

So I stay quiet

Even though I want you mine

Verse 2

You remember little things

Songs I like and midnight dreams

And sometimes when you say my name

It sounds different… soft and safe

But safe is something I don’t know

I’ve only learned how to let go

Bridge (piano joins softly)

Maybe love ain’t meant to hurt

Maybe not every door slams shut

Maybe you’re the proof that God

Still sends good people after rough

And maybe one day

I’ll finally tell you the truth…

That every love song I write

Has always sounded like you

Final Chorus

I’m still scared of what I feel

But maybe healing can be real

Maybe my past don’t own my heart

Maybe this is where I start

And if your hand reaches for mine

Maybe this time… I won’t hide

(soft rain fades out)
