What If
There is just something about you
that scares me to death
what if I get hurt again
what if I take that step
Your words are so beautiful
you speak with confidence
what if they're all lies
what if you fail the test
There's something in your eyes
that I can not explain
what if I take your hand
and all there is is pain
You're very good with words
you know exactly what to say
so what if I believe you
and tomorrow things change
You say you won't hurt me
you want to gain my trust
what if I just let go
and all it is is lust
What if it's not worth the risk
what if I'm scared of how I feel
What happens if you're lying
and none of this is real
I have my wall built high
I'm guarded you can see
what if I walked away
would you come after me
what if I can't trust
what if I can't let go
What if I'm too far gone
and there's too much damage in my soul
. . . . or what if I take your hand
and trust the stars above
that you will treat me right
what if I fall in love
