Lyrics

Well it seems like years ago
since I gave my heart away
to a girl I used to know
- until she went away
Well, she left me in my silence
(and lord, those times were tough)
But now the time I spend with you, girl,
Just ain't time enough.
And so I have a question
Of just what I should do
I've a fear of expectations
I'm afraid of loving you.

Well, I had a loving world
I thought I'd found my happiness
- but when I lost that girl
I found - I'd lost my innocence
I left it somewhere in the darkeness
Of lonliness's touch
Feeling lost is just the cost
of expectin' far too much
And so I have a question
Of just what I should do
I've a fear of expectations
I'm afraid of loving you.

It's been a while since I've had hope
or responsibility
enough to make a commitment
and let someone become part of me
'Cause like the clear blue sky above us
Always holds a chance of rain,
When you take a chance on love, I've found
You take a chance on pain.
And so I have a question
Of just what I should do
I've a fear of expectations
I'm afraid of loving you.
