Afraid to Fall

You want me to say I love you

But I can only say I care

You want me to tell you all of my dreams

But I tell you, I don't dare

 

You ask me to hold you closer

But this is as close as I can get

You ask me to show you affection

But I'm just not ready yet

 

You need me to make you happy

But I don't know I can

You need me to say I need you

But I'm not that kind of man

 

You love me the way you're supposed to

But it's love I can't return

You love me unconditional

But it's love I'll never learn

 

The reason, I've hidden inside my heart

But I guess maybe most of all

No one ever steps into love

And I'm too afraid to fall
