Afraid of hurt, scared of lonely
Don't wanna get too close, but I need you to hold me
I never say " I love you" 'cause I learned the meaning of those words
Hurt me, then desert me. Two major stones for one bird
From the island of pain to the ocean of love I race
Praying that I'd make it to a better place if I quickened my pace
Maybe, if I went opposite of its waves of deceit
And ignored how much the water stung the blisters of my feet
You want me to believe you're the one that can save me.?
HA.! How many times I've believed that line and paid a hefty fee
Give my heart to those whose hands aren't even open to receive
So forgive me for the characteristics that I preconceived
Yet you remain and try to convince one as stubborn as me
Promising that theres a better tomorrow I just can't see
If its really there then touch it for me
Does that sound as ridiculous as your plans for a future we
I'm not trying to be cruel just looking out for me
Cause i'm still afraid of hurt and scared of lonely
