I'm too afraid to look
. . . You might not be there long
I'm too afraid to speak
. . . The words might come out wrong
I'm too afraid to touch
. . . I don't want to break you
I'm too afraid to hold you
. . . I don't want to get too close
I'm too afraid to love you
. . . You might not care
I'm too afraid to need you
. . . You might not be there when I do
I'm too afraid I'll lose you
. . . It's happened before
I'm too afraid of you
. . . Because you scare me
. . . More than I do
