I'm scared
I can feel it in every tremor of my hand
And every whimper and shallow breath from my throat
For the first time in my life
I don't know what to do
My thoughts are useless and they tell me lies
I could scream but it wouldn't matter
I can see you in every tear in my eye
This might mean goodbye
Should I t-tell h-?
Cutting my breath off with a choked sob
This is the first real risk I've taken
And I can't do it
I've always told myself I am fearless
But you are terrifing
And I'm shaking and crying
Not tonight, not tonight
*Tonight. . . tonight. . .
