Afraid To Fall
You want me to say I love you
But I can only say I care
You want me to tell you all of my dreams
But I tell you, I don't dare
You ask me to hold you closer
But this is as close as I can get
You ask me to show you affection
But I'm just not ready yet
You need me to make you happy
But I don't know I can
You need me to say I need you
But I'm not that kind of man
You love me the way you're supposed to
But it's love I can't return
You love me unconditional
But it's love I'll never learn
The reason, I've hidden inside my heart
But I guess maybe most of all
No one ever steps into love
And I'm too afraid to fall
