SHELLY

Heartbreak Fear

I am trying so hard to find

A way to get you out of my mind

To not see you when I close my eyes

To not make you the ultimate prize

 

I need to control my feelings

To keep my heart from reeling

I have to let my head rule

To keep me from being a fool

 

It\'s such a difficult fight

That keeps me up at night

I don\'t want to feel this way

I wish it would just go away

 

Instead each morning I rise

And I can only see your eyes

I feel the tenderness of your kiss

That I don\'t ever want to miss

 

I\'m scared of being ashamed

If to you I\'m just a game

If you don\'t even care

That I put my heart out there
