How long will I refrain, and sacrifice my heart?
Afraid to let love in. Terrified I'll be marred.

Hesitating from every whim, I freeze and then I flee.
Thinking it's impossible for someone's love to ever find me.

I want it but I don't. My heart always seems to break.
I lose myself and all control, and quickly become fake.

But why am I so scared? Why is this fear so strong?!
Why am I always running, instead of continuing on?

Someone always takes my place whenever I lock up.
Always feels like I've lost a race and lost the right to love.

I follow my heart, wherever it leads. But I fear it's going to break.
So I hold back and hesitate, sure that it's my certain fate.

So when will I finally give it my all? When will I stand up and try?
When will I finally say what I want, and finally **** all of the lies?
