***love Is a Terrible Thing To Waste

There’s so much inside of me That I wish I could say Yet I keep it to myself It’s easier that way I’ve learned to love carefully You won’t find me off-guard I seldom allow anyone in The effort’s just too hard With everything I’ve been through I’ve slowly built a wall I tend to stay in my comfort zone That way I cannot fall I’ve made so many excuses It isn’t worth the fight So I simply shut people out Though I know it isn’t right I know that I’ll probably never Know what love’s all about So instead of going through the pain I take the easy way out One day I’ll wake up and have Someone who will be there But the way I’m feeling now I just can’t make myself care If I keep pushing you away I’ll find myself alone I can handle what life throws at me A lot better on my own I can’t stand the pain That’s left every time you go So I hold in all I’m feeling I never let it show I’ve learned from every heartache From ever time I’ve cried I’ve learned it’s best to play it safe And just keep it all inside A love is a terrible thing to waste A heart’s a terrible thing to break It seems you keep me hanging on To see how much that I can take
