So Scared To Try

Original January 12, 1998

Revision February 23, 2008

For one minute, can you step out of your own wants and needs to see me?

Not just the outer layers, but to the core of my being

Maybe then you'll be able to contemplate and relate to patience and understanding

Am I sounding too demanding?

For years, I have dealt with a broken heart and have tried to fix it by living a lie

Guys have come and I've shot them down before they even has a chance to try

For one quick second, take a walk through my heart?

A place in my being tired of being ripped apart

So many memories of love, tainted with mistrust and pain

So now in place of good times only sadder times remain

I feel so alone, more times than you may know—it makes me wonder why

Why I feel like I want you so damn much but I'm so scared to try
