The Greater Fear

Four months kinown you And then we kissed Was sweet, but true? But now I find myself in doubt Pulling back and shutting out I don’t know what it is with me I want to love But need be free I’m scared you know Of being hurt Of my life changing for the worst I’m safer here, that’s what I think Without all this emotional thing Deep inside a fire glows Starved of wood to fuel the coals It’s just a flicker, don’t you see It threatens to go out on me I know your standing there confused How can I explain to you I don’t know what’s on offer here Don’t know that I want to care I think that I am safer now The greater fear has won today
