Afraid

from Lionheart by Colin Burke

/

lyrics

I'm afraid of rhyming words,
I'm so scared they won't make sense.
no matter how hard I try,
my structure won't comply.
Afraid of writing songs,
for the fear of going wrong.
So, I'll just get started.


Maybe I can leave the door,
unlocked for just one night,
to see if you come in,
and if you do I'd win.
But, losing has it's perks,
you can make this work,
you're climbing up my staircase.


When I'm alone I think this to myself.
And say, "would this have all gone wrong if I had held my breath?"


Baby I can keep you here,
our thoughts so crystal clear,
so Annie can you hear me now?
I'm singing to you now.
Yes, I hope you ache,
when you're out across the states,
and think of me in the same way at the same time I'm thinking of you.


You're afraid of rhyming words,
so scared they won't make sense.
How on Earth would you know?
You wouldn't know until you try.
Afraid of writing songs,
well nothing can go wrong as long as what you say is worth it.


When I'm alone I think this to myself.
And say, "would this have all gone wrong if I had held my breath?"
And all day long, I can sit, I can regret.
And say, "would this have all gone wrong if I had held my breath?"
Well, there's no time for looking back now.


I'm forgetting all about the past,
and I'm finding peace at last.
Don't care where you've been,
I'll always let you in.
You're afraid of writing songs,
but you shouldn't be afraid at all.
