I'd say love was a magical thing I'd say love would keep us from pain Had I been there Had I been there I would promise you all of my life But to lose you would cut like a knife So I don't dare No, I don't dare 'Cause I've never come close in all of these years You are the only one to stop my tears And I'm so scared I'm so scared Take me back in time, maybe I can forget Turn a different corner and we never would have met Would you care? Oh, I don't understand it for you it's a breeze Little by little, you've brought me to my knees Don't you care? No, I've never come close in all of these years You are the only one to stop my tears I'm so scared of this love And if all that there is Is this fear of being used I should go back to being lonely and confused If I could, I would, I swear
