I'm starting to imagine him
Who will he be?
The one I let in close

The thought scares me
Close, to love and know
and close to hurt and destroy

This time close will only be to love
Or, he'll stay far, and then away

He's a shadow now
But when he's near, I'll relax
I won't want to work on him, he'll be fine
He won't want to change me
He will respect me

It's hard to even imagine this.
The other he hurt so much
Sometimes I think, that was the plan
His plan
to hurt me so much I will never again
let in another he

I can't let him win
