Scared in Love

He has been cut deep before
Does not want to fall in love
Will not take the jump
Risk getting hurt again

She has been hurt before
She willingly falls in love
Willing to take the jump
Risk getting cut again

She wants him badly
Knows she must be patient
Pull down the the wall
Brick by brick by brick

If he sees what she is doing
He may run scared
He may try to stop her
But he can't stop her trying

He keeps his distance
Keeps the wall strong
Not showing his weakness
Not showing his loneliness

If she sees his weakness
She may run scared
She may stop trying
He's not sure if he wants that

They dance around like this
Moving closer then apart
Both scared of frightening
The other one away
