Fear In Love

Why were you so afraid I promised I'd never let you down. But, fear made you a killer and inside these tears I drown. For I've forgotten how to swim but for you I tried to cross the sea I thought I could make it far oh, the believer you'd made of me. Daily I said I love you but those words held all our fears did I wait in vain for a reply? So I sink to bitter tears. You could not believe my words I'd believed in everything you'd said I took that fear and leaped in faith but you ran with all your words unsaid. And, with no one here to catch me I'm falling faster to the ground to shatter into pieces but, I will not make a sound. I can't scream your name, for fear of hurting you too yet, at least now I know what is was that was scaring you.
