If I said I love you,
Would you say it too?
I'm not sure I want you to, you see,
Love scares the **** out of me.
Love brings you close together at the start,
Then as time goes by, love will tear you apart.
Love makes your heart skip a beat,
Then rips it up into little pieces of meat.
Love makes you light headed and puts you in a spin.
Love sends you into a battle you can never win.
When love is good, it makes you see the light.
When love is bad, all you do is fight.
Love can be everything from A to Z,
But love still scares the **** out of me.
Love is something that we all need so much,
To have that soft caress of a lover’s touch.
With love sometimes you get pain.
Sometimes on a sunny day you get rain.
Sometimes you have to let things be what they will be,
That’s why love scares the **** out of me.
If I said I love you true,
Would you call me Boo?
Sometimes good love can go bad,
And I never want to see you sad.
At first when you are in love
It seems like she was sent from above.
Love should always set you free,
But love scares the **** out of me.
As time moves on and love starts to go,
It seems more like she was sent from below.
Love number one was an angel sent just for me,
Then things changed and I knew it could never be.
Love number two was based on lust,
And the more I got to know her; I knew it was a bust.
Love number three I thought she would always be my own,
But then even though she was there, I was truly alone.
I've lived, loved and lost,
And every time it's been at such a great cost.
Love number one, number two, number three
That’s why love scares the **** out of me.
To love someone forever you must have a goal,
You must give up your life, your heart, and your soul.
Anymore . . . I'm not sure what love should be,
That’s why love scares the **** out of me.
Maybe someday I will find someone to hold me dear.
Maybe someday I will find someone to chase away my fear.
To have true love you have to find the key,
And with this key, maybe love won't scare the **** out of me.
