I'm told to show my mind
Let others in
Let others help me

But I'm afraid

I've been hurt so many times
That I've lost track
And it's hard not to look back

So many betrayals
From people I trusted
From people I loved

My father
Some friends
A lover

So I'm afraid
Afraid to wear my heart on my sleeve

It's hard to believe
When I'm promised forever
Or always

I try not to look back
Try not to compare
You guys
To people of the past

I care about you guys
I trust you guys
But I can't bare it all

I can't stand to be completely weak
So I have my secrets
That I try to deny

Please don't pry
It might make me cry
I haven't got a whole heart
A whole soul

I beg you
Help me repair the damage
But let me do it at my pace

One day at a time
I'll let you in
Closer and closer
To my inner pain

So please don't leave me
Don't break me more
I couldn't bare it
I couldn't handle
Any more rejection

Especially from all of you
Which whom I've grown closest to

I'm afraid to be

*COMPLETELY ALONE
