i'm afraid of these feeling
because they're so intense
i'm afraid to take this any further
than just being friends

i'm afraid of what to call this
and i don't want us to rush
i've done that in the past
and it never amounted to much

i'm afraid to wake up one day
and you're no longer by my side
i'm really afraid to lose you
cause i need you in my life

i'm afraid to tell you my thoughts
because you might not feel the same
i'm afraid to ask for your heart
afraid of what you will say

i'm afraid of how i treat you
and i hope it's always this great
i'm trying to be perfect
god, i hope i've changed

i'm afraid to call this love
because i've felt this before
and that makes me scared
that someday i won't feel it anymore
