Afraid of us

Afraid of us To my love, my world, my everything I’ve given you my all In hopes u won’t make me fall I’ve given you my heart In hopes you won’t break it apart But in truth I’ve never actually healed From the past, the pain and defeat So, I couldn’t give you that So, I just gave you a part The part of me that isn’t broken The part of me that can be spoken All I can give is this For now, my trauma is too much I love you I need you All words I’ve said in vain For these feelings are without pain Lies and Lies To cover up my painful cries The truth is that my love for you Is much greater than I knew My need for you Controls my mind, that’s true I wonder and wonder If this will ever end Holding me back, to defend To protect the me that I have left To protect myself from you For with one word, you can destroy me For with one phrase can defeat me The truth is I’m so afraid Afraid of you Afraid of me Afraid of us I’m afraid of how much I love you
