Fear of Love

Fear of being afraid of feelings
in fear,  feelings
Feelings that tell the truth u try hard to suppress
Causing sleepless nights, no rest,
Stress, a mess
All because u run from what u really want
U can't say it, do it, u can't even think it! 
Someone might hear, might hear u dreaming
Wishing on a wing and a prayer
That when you awake they'll be there
And living without them all these years was only a bad dream The coldest nightmare
That haunts u still between here and real
U know it's not real, but still 
Even though u know it's not real
You're the happiest you've ever been
Dreaming of what coulda been
Until u wake from this dream back into this nightmare again
Damn, in this life it seems you just can't win

Hit the snooze twice and it starts all over again
