Afraid of Love Lyrics

Can't see

Kept my head up high

But the altitude has got me on my knees

Full speed

My feet will walk me dry

I hold my tongue, don't know my left from right

Sit tight, enjoy the joy ride

It won't be fun but you can scream as loud as you like

There's a highway

Right into your heart

No thanks, I'll take the underpass

It turns out

I'm afraid of love

Afraid of love

Afraid of love

Too scared to open up,

Can't find my place in love

When it's all been torn up

They keep their doors closed

To their ivory walls and columned hallways

Guarded always, but they'll never let us in

Am I the lamb, are you the knife?

Caught in a cycle of sacrifice

Do I play victim to you my vice?

Desperate soliloquys and patented trajectories

Remove my heart just to sell the meat

But I'd like to be the shapes your mouth makes

When you speak your mind

Even if your voice shakes

The system's on overdrive

And this pantomime is so contrived

Is this a joke? Are we alive?

But don't over-compensate

Cos' the operator can't relate

They've gone off stage and they refuse to change

So when you ask me

Why I'm afraid of love

Why I can't open up

If there's a space for us

For us to fall in love

I can promise the irony is not lost on me

As far as I can see

The kindest part of my bleeding heart was made the enemy

It's no wonder

I'm afraid to love

Afraid to love

Afraid to love

Too scared to open up

I can't find my place in love

When I'm all torn up

It's no wonder

I'm afraid to love

Afraid to love

Afraid to love

Too scared to open up

I can't find my place in love

When I'm all torn up

It's no wonder

I'm afraid to love

Afraid to love

Afraid to love

Too scared to open up

I can't find my place in love

When I'm all torn up

Have you seen what walls do?

They tear right through

But they can fall too

Afraid of love

Afraid of love

Afraid of love

Too scared to open up

I can't find my place in love

When I'm all torn up
