Most of me is scared to death
As I'm holding you tonight
Should I open up my heart to you
Or should I run for my life
I come by caution honestly
I'm no stranger to heartache
But a tiny, trusting part of me
Says you're a chance I've got to take
I don't know if I can do this
History ain't on my side
But as we're lying here
And I'm looking my fear in the eye
I'm willing to try
Fear's a funny thing sometimes
When you're stuck and scared to move
The pain of staying where you are
Is worse than if you push on through
I know I've got no guarantees
And love won't be the easy road
But as I hold you, my heart's whispering
It's the way I gotta go
