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
