Fear: what keeps me up at night
Can't escape its dark hand
I wonder if I will ever be free
From torture I can barely stand

Suddenly I am so confused
Which way am I supposed to go?
Want to lie so you don't see
There is so much more you don't know.

Slowly I'm unraveling
My mask wearing thin
I am spilling my heart to you
Why am I so scared to win?

This is not a game of make-believe
All of my mistakes are real
Everywhere I turn I find
I am trapped by what I feel.

These close walls are my security
Risks I cannot take
Every time I talk to you
They threaten to break

I hardly recognize the face
Staring from my reflection
Mirroring a complete stranger
Who desires perfection.

Seconds slowly fall away
Like sand through an unending sieve
My heart's telling me to stay
Despite the fact I should leave.

Where can I run to?
Is there anyone I can trust?
When shadows are dancing
With wind and dust.

I am going to take a risk
Though it may seem strange
I know this is right for once
I am going to listen to my heart for a change.

Do you still love me like you once did?
Im starting to feel like you don't.
Where did those feelings fly off to?
I want to change for you but I won't.

Am I able to turn around and avoid a collision?
If not we will be left with more careless aches.
Is there enough courage inside these bones to be better?
Still making the same stupid mistakes.

Are you tired of my selfishness yet?
I can tell you are by the tightness in your jaw.
Didn't I warn you to stay far away?
It seems my ice is too thick to completely thaw.
