I'm scared to love anyone
I'm scared to let anyone in
I'm scared that all the memories
Will press play and begin
I'm scared to let myself feel
I'm scared to leave this dream
I'm scared to feel something real
Life's harder than it seems
I miss the silence
I miss the feeling without pain
Who am I kidding?
It's always been there
I've never been free
Pain is a part of me
There's only one way to break the chains
Of this eternal pain
This burning flame
This overwhelming shame
Taking the easy way out
Erasing this cloud of doubt
Erasing me
