too afraid to be in love

I'm rushing in, while you're taking your time
 This wouldn't be the first one that's built off a lie
 Whatever I say it doesn't mean much
 Cause I'm too afraid to be in love
 Why is it so hard to let you in?
 I promised I would never be here again
 No one ever taught me how to be loved
 Now I'm too afraid to be in love
 Maybe you don't know what I'm going through
 I'm not asking you to but, I just need you
 I need some sympathy, I don't need empathy
 I just need you here with me, baby, can I come clean?
 Lately I don't feel like myself at all
 I'm ignoring all my friends
 And I've tried, but I just can't bring myself
 To go through this all again
 The pain that comes with losing hurts
 And all I know is how to use my words
 When I latch on I don't wanna let go
 And I'm doing everything to say so
 I'm rushing in, while you're taking your time
 This wouldn't be the first one that's built off a lie
 Whatever I say it doesn't mean much
 Cause I'm too afraid to be in love
 Why is it so hard to let you in?
 I promised I would never be here again
 No one ever taught me how to be loved
 Now I'm too afraid to be in love
 In love, yeah, you mean the world to me and more
 I just want you to ignore
 All the things you've heard before about me
 I'm rushing in, while you're taking your time
 This wouldn't be the first one that's built off a lie
 Whatever I say it doesn't mean much
 Cause I'm too afraid to be in love
 Why is it so hard to let you in?
 I promised I would never be here again
 No one ever taught me how to be loved
 Now I'm too afraid to be in love
