I WANT TO LOVE AGAIN...BUT
I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW
THE PAST HAS SUCH A HOLD ON ME
I'M UNABLE TO LIVE IN THE HERE AND NOW
IF I WERE TO LET YOU IN
COULD YOU TRULY BE MY FRIEND
ACCEPT ME FOR WHO I AM AND WHERE I'VE BEEN

I WANT TO LOVE AGAIN...BUT
IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I'VE GIVEN MY ALL
TOO MANY MEMORIES OF HOW
LOVE CAUSED ME TO STUMBLE AND FALL
WHAT WAS ONCE A BIG HEART
HAS BEEN REDUCED TO SOMETHING SMALL

I WANT TO LOVE AGAIN...BUT
I JUST DON'T KNOW IF YOUR THE MAN
NO DESIRE TO JUST GO THROUGH THE MOTIONS
AS MUCH AS I WANT TO BELIEVE IN YOU
MY MIND IS SWARMING WITH MIXED EMOTIONS

I WANT TO LOVE AGAIN...BUT
I'M AFRAID TO TRUST
IN NEED OF A LONG LASTING LOVE
NOT JUST A SHORT LIVED CRUSH
WHEN MY HEART IS CLOSE TO YOURS I FEEL THE WAY IT BEATS
POUNDING HARD LIKE AN ADRENALINE RUSH
LISTENING TO IT ACTUALLY CONSOLES ME...BUT
THOUGHTS OF LETTING SOMEONE IN
IS DRIVING ME CRAZY
I WANT TO LOVE AGAIN...BUT
I JUST DON'T THINK I CAN
