Maybe I'm Afraid

There's no way I can hide
It's written on my face, all these complications now

Maybe I'm afraid to open up and let you in
Behind the curtain
Maybe I'm afraid of the questions that I know you'd raise What I thought was certain

Maybe I'm afraid of the mess
That is sure to make
Of all I've tried to simplify, and organize
But I just can't deny

That there's no way I can hide
It's written on my face
And all the complications fumbling with my equations
Now they crumble to the ground

With everything I thought
To be without your help
'Cause if I let you in I'll never be the same
So I try to escape, maybe I'm afraid

Maybe I'm afraid to let it go and just accept
The love you've spoken
Or maybe I'm afraid of the way that I know you'll fix
Everything that's broken

And maybe I'm afraid
'Cause I don't know who you are
That the more I keep from you, the more I lose
So what am I holding on to?

There's no way I can hide
It's written on my face
And all the complications fumbling with my equations
Now they crumble to the ground

With everything I thought
To be without your help
'Cause if I let you in I'll never be the same
So I try to escape, maybe I'm afraid

Afraid of being complete
But still so weak in your hands
Maybe I'm afraid, afraid that it won't last
I'll only be half without you

Maybe I'm afraid to let You change my heart
With all it's hiding
Maybe I'm afraid that I just might fall apart
Unless you're beside me

And I know there's no way I can hide
It's written on my face
And all the complications fumbling with my equations
Now they crumble to the ground

With everything I thought
To be without your help
'Cause if I let you in I'll never be the same
No, I can't escape, well, maybe I'm afraid

Maybe I'm afraid, maybe I'm afraid
Maybe I'm afraid, maybe I'm afraid
Maybe I'm afraid, maybe I'm afraid
Maybe, maybe, maybe I'm afraid
