The Greater Fear
Four months kinown you
And then we kissed
Was sweet, but true?
But now I find myself in doubt
Pulling back and shutting out
I don’t know what it is with me
I want to love
But need be free
I’m scared you know
Of being hurt
Of my life changing for the worst
I’m safer here, that’s what I think
Without all this emotional thing
Deep inside a fire glows
Starved of wood to fuel the coals
It’s just a flicker, don’t you see
It threatens to go out on me
I know your standing there confused
How can I explain to you
I don’t know what’s on offer here
Don’t know that I want to care
I think that I am safer now
The greater fear has won today
