Hope I Stay Scared

I know what it's like to have a world without you there That's why I hope I stay scared I want to be afraid of messing up, and scared of getting things wrong It keeps me motivated to love you right, because in my arms is where you belong Your beauty sometimes makes me mumble and struggle to get my words out come clean to each other about our pasts and get the dirt out I can't give you the world, but I'll give you my heart Heal your pain, so you don't have to live with the scars Always lived by the motto, girls come and go, but the truth is I want you to stay Knowing I'll be by your side at night, is how I make it through the day We can fly anywhere if we put our wings together No matter what I'm going through, your lips make everything better I know your ex hurt you, but he doesn't exist no more You've got a real man now, you don't need to wish no more I haven't had a nightmare since the day I met the girl of my dreams You made me realize, life isn't as bad as it seems I know what it's like to have a world without you there That's why I hope I stay scared I want to be afraid of messing up, and scared of getting things wrong It keeps me motivated to love you right, because in my arms is where you belong
