One Fear At a Time

Take a leap of faith Remember what you've come to learn Challenge your every fear Even if you constantly yearn Keep trying to achieve What's important in your life It doesn't matter what it is I just wanted to be his wife I drive past his house My body shivers and quakes We are all grown up now We have what it takes My chance is now buried In memories of the past He won't take a walk with me To talk about what happened last I hold his name as my last Torturing myself as years go by The next challenge is to change it I just don't want to cry Fear not giving up his name For Mr. Right is going to wait I just need to get over my fear Of going on a date I got over the ridiculous idea Of him loving me Now I need to move on Myself I need to become free Walk with no fear Socialize with no needs Enjoy what life I have left Start planting new seeds All grown up And nowhere to go Time to get off my sorry butt Drive past the mountain of sorrow I can drive around his mountain Find a new untraveled terrain Loving someone who doesn't love you back Is just insane I'm gonna pick up the phone Call some old friends See what happens after that Pray my fears all end
