with talk of forever and always, just stay
don't scare me, don't scare me
with words like i love you, they haunt me some days

nobody knows better than me
that love is a fickle friend
who can give you up, give you up, give you up
without whisper or warning
give you up, give you up, give you up
and it scares me, scares me

don't tell me, don't tell me
that you'll take care of me forever and always
don't tempt me, don't tempt me
to trust you, oh how I long to some days

nobody knows better than me
that love is a fickle friend
who can give you up, give you up, give you up
without whisper or warning
give you up, give you up, give you up
and it scares me, scares me

and i would be the first to say
the best-laid plans can fail
i guess it's just like anything
where only time can tell

scare me

nobody knows better than me
that love is a fickle friend
who can give you up, give you up, give you up
without whisper or warning
give you up, give you up, give you up
and it scares me, scares me
