Afraid to Love

Verse 1

Wide open highway and a radio tune

Shadows on the dashboard under a half moon

I keep driving forward but I'm stuck in the past

Every mile marker feels like the last

Pre-Chorus

And then you whisper soft and low

And I don't know which way to go

Chorus

When you say my name it makes my heart beat faster

But I'm scared to love again and I hate the pain

Got one foot in the doorway and one foot on the gravel

Afraid to feel the fire that I can't contain

Post-Chorus

Faster

Oh my heart beats faster

Again

Afraid to love again

Verse 2

I remember the wreckage I left behind

Scars in the rearview of a broken mind

Folded up letters and a box of keys

Lessons I carry on my trembling knees

Pre-Chorus

And then you smile and time stands still

But love has taught me how to feel

Chorus

When you say my name it makes my heart beat faster

But I'm scared to love again and I hate the pain

Got one foot in the doorway and one foot on the gravel

Afraid to feel the fire that I can't contain

Post-Chorus

Faster

Oh my heart beats faster

Again

Afraid to love again

Bridge

Maybe someday I'll let that fence gate swing

Maybe someday I'll let the robin sing

But tonight I'm just a soldier of my own war

Loving you and hating it even more

Chorus

When you say my name it makes my heart beat faster

But I'm scared to love again and I hate the pain

Got one foot in the doorway and one foot on the gravel

Afraid to feel the fire that I can't contain

Outro

Faster now

Faster now

Say my name

Say my name again
