Ever since the age of ten
I have always preached one thing
Learn to be happy being single
And know you do not need a ring
Though I firmly believe it still
You can be happy on your own
I've grown to question if there's a reason
That I prefer to be alone
I think it boils down to more
I think I'm really full of fear
It's the underlying reason
Why I don't want people near
What if I get in too deep
But they don't feel the same?
What if I'm just strung along
And they play me like a game...
What if it's the opposite
I'm the one that they dream of
But no matter what I do
I will never be able to love
I have a hidden bigger fear
What if our love is true
What if I find happiness
That can only be found in you
What if we get married
And everything is great
What if I've found my one true love
And he gets ripped away by fate
I don't think I am strong enough
Since love can only end two ways
The choice is yours, death or divorce
Either way it ends in a blaze.
To be in a happy loving relationship
The thing I most secretly wish for
But an even deeper secret than that
Is that it frightens me to the core.
Maybe I'll be alone forever...
