I want love but it scares me
Doesn't come naturally to bare my soul when there's no guarantee
I want to wake in the morning, when you're sound asleep
I want to lie next to you and know this is meant to be
But everybody likes to change their mind
So one of us is always left behind
I know I've been guarded and hiding my heart so it don't make a sound
I kept myself safe and locked away, tried to shut it out
After all of the years, after all of the tears, you are here somehow
And I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I want you but I'm nervous
What if it falls apart? What if loving me is too hard?
What if this is just the start...
What if you are the one to calm my mind?
And you help me find the pieces left behind?
I know I've been guarded and hiding my heart so it don't make a sound
I kept myself safe and locked it away, tried to shut it out
After all of the years, after all of the tears, you are here somehow
And I'm ready now, I'm ready now
Oh, I'm ready now, I'm ready now
Cos I think that you're the one to calm my mind
And I don't want to run and hide
I know I've been guarded and hiding my heart so it don't make a sound
I kept myself safe and locked it away, tried to shut it out
After all of the years, after all of the tears, you are here somehow
And I'm ready now, I'm ready now
