I hit the ground before the pavement Tore my jeans like it's all you'll ever give I heard you got the news of my disloyalties They love rumors and unflattering If you can handle the worst in me You can handle anything You are the prettiest words I've read Why is it so sad in your head? And when the moment is over Do we cut and run? Holding our saddest excuses We're both afraid to love We could talk ourselves in circles Or roll around the crisp new greens of Maine We could dance til the day is finally over Take this chance with me right now I'd rather look in your eyes Than watch the television tell me Things that I don't wanna hear And I recall the words you said You can't love two hearts living' in the same head And when the moment is over Do we cut and run Holding our saddest excuses We're both afraid to love We can't hide the feelings The rush of blood With our saddest excuses We're both afraid to love I keep you around just to break you And I'll keep you around just to break you down The moment it's over Do we cut and run Holding our saddest excuses We're both afraid, we're both afraid And when the moment is over Do we cut and run Holding our saddest excuses We're both afraid to love We can't hide the feelings, nah the rush of blood With our saddest excuses We're both afraid, we're both afraid to love We're both afraid to love We're both afraid to love We're both afraid to love
