How People Are

You shouldn't be allowed
 To walk around out there in the world
 Where everyone can see your face
 They shouldn't be permitted to lay eyes on you
 I wish that I could keep you locked up safe inside
 Cause you're too good to share
 A precious thing I wanna hide
 What scares me the most is not how you are
 What scares me the most is how people are
 Selfish and searching for someone like you
 Watching and waiting for two in love to screw it up
 They say that the stars
 Protect trusting hearts I'm not sure
 When all around the evidence
 Would suggest the opposite, it's a tragedy
 When we should be out walking underneath the sun
 But there's no telling who we'd see
 It could be anyone
 What scares me the most
 Is not how you are
 What scares me the most
 Is how people are
 Drifting and dreaming of someone like you
 Lonely and looking for two in love to screw it up
 I can't believe how perfect you are, I'm meant for you
 I can't believe how jealous I am of anyone you ever knew
 There was a time I thought we were free fromf worrying
 Now we both know that's no way to be
 We can't relax
 We watch our backs
 What scares me the most
 Is not how you are
 What scares me the most
 Is how people are
