I don't get close to people very easily, and I've had only a few serious romantic relationships in my life. My first feelings of what I thought were love hurt me deeply and ended up molding me into who I am today. This song tells a lot about my fears, scarred by those first feelings that ultimately ended up in nothing.
Softly, love is standing here with its demands
(Tell me what you want from me)
Slowly, I think I'm letting go of all my plans
(Tell me where we're going to)
But why, why am I afraid to give in to this
Why am I afraid
This doesn't have to be love
But it's all I can feel
It's all that I fear
This doesn't have to be anything at all
It's so hard to fall (from this high above)
Now do we have to call it...love
I hold back from everything I really want to say
(Should I let my guards down?)
I don't, I don't make commitments that could break
(Maybe it's just too late)
But I, I'm so afraid to give in to this
I'm so afraid, oh
This doesn't have to be love
But it's all I can feel
It's all that I fear
This doesn't have to be anything at all
It's so hard to fall (from this high above)
So do we have to call it...love
I need a little time to think things out, baby
Do I really wanna give myself
Give all myself to you now
I can't believe it's happening so fast
'Cause I don't want to bring back
What I left in the past
No...no
This doesn't have to be love
But it's all I can feel
It's all that I fear
This doesn't have to be anything at all
It's so hard to fall (from this high above)
Now this doesn't have to be...love
Love...love
It's so hard to fall...in love
No no no, no no no
This doesn't have to be
(Love, love is all I feel
Your love is what I fear)
Love me, love me
(Love, love is all I feel
Your love is what I fear)
Love me
(Love, love is all I feel
Your love is what I fear)
So hard to fall
So very hard to fall
(Love, love is all I feel
Your love is what I fear)
Love...love
(Love, love is all I feel
Your love is what I fear)
