I'm to blame
Met this lady
Was more than a maybe
So bad I wanted
But the past, it haunted
Silent echoes
The past knows
Visions of what was assaulted my brain
Emotions like a run away train
Makes me insane
Unsure of how to act
It is a fact
Words left me
That I was not worthy, I could see
Felt fear
To have her near
At love I was never that good
So many emotions I never understood
My tounge of wood
In my head , so many a word
Never to be heard
Fear
Brings fourth a tear
Wipe it away
Trying to find the words to say
I love you, gets locked inside
I want to hide
I feel her getting mad
Sad
I want to hold you
I wish I could of told you
But the words got lost
Loneliness always the cost
So much I wish to say
Please don't go your own way
Your kiss was nice
From my heart it melted the ice
So used to being alone
I remember what love has shown
I got scared
Cause someone cared
Visions of the past
Was hitting me so fast
Love, does never last
My fear
Gave you a tear
With all my heart
I would love for this to start
Fear held me back
My brain on the attack
All the things that could go wrong
A sad love song
You walk away
I can't think of what I should say
To make you stay
Heart feels so sad
Love was there to be had
I sit there hanging my head
Thinking of what I should of said
But sitting here lonely instead
If you could read my heart
You would let love start
I would cherish you
I would be true
Would place you high
Never say good bye
But here I cry
I'm no good at this love
No gift from above
I have nothing to give
The way I live
I am only me
I am what you see
Not much
I liked your loving touch
And such
I let you walk
Cause I couldn't talk
I wish I could tell you how I feel
But the past haunts me still
I feel shame
I'm no good at the love game
I'm to blame.
Afraid to love you
Then I'm left blue
Love never last
Goes by so fast
Tell me what to do
Are hearts ever true
I fail
Know that feeling well
Words I'll never tell
Leave a scar
Dims my star
