I know that I shouldn't be
thinking about you and me
but the thought won't leave my head
as I lay here alone in my bed
I had and I lost my chance
a victim of odd circumstance
it took me years to reflect
oh how I wanted to be perfect
a well intentioned lie

I won't be afraid
to say the things that I need to say
No, I won't be afraid
I won't run away

Theres something about that smile
when you get tired and act like a child
all the blood rushes to your cheeks
it still knocks me off of my feet
or the look in your eyes my dear
when you get a funny idea
but I still can't find the words to say
when I see you every day
that I miss you

I wont be afraid
of the things that you have to say
No, I wont be afraid
I won't run away

I love you, I hate you its all just the same
to play in this game will just drive you insane
even right now I don't know what I'm trying to say

No brains and no money, all I have is a car
and these scars I am picking out on my guitar
I don't have much to offer, but I promise you have my heart.

Author's Note: I've had severe writers block for a while, and it was nice for this to pour out of me the way it did... I think its one of the better things I've ever written
