I'm afraid of my heart
Want to give it to you
What if it don't last
What if it's ever untrue

I'm afraid of my heart
This traitor in my chest
That only wants to love you
Hope it never rests

I'm afraid of my heart
I'm afraid of my heart

I'm afraid of my heart
So many ways it can betray me
Give up on you or give up the ghost
Lead me astray or break or slay me

I'm afraid of my heart
I'm afraid of my heart

Wanna give you all my years
But how many have I got left inside
Say I'm too young for all these fears
But I don't know how my father died
Don't know how my father died

I'm afraid of my heart
I'm getting older you know
Our lives are only beginning
I don't want you to have to let me go

I'm afraid of my heart
I'm afraid of my heart
I'm afraid of my heart
I'm afraid of my heart

I'm afraid of my heart
Want to give it to you

I'M AFRAID OF MY HEART
