I was afraid to fall in love with someone
I always thought when that time came I would run
I was afraid to get involved in a relationship
when someone was ready to take my hand I wouldn't grip
I was afraid to hold someone in my arms and kiss them
I was afraid to let someone become more than just my friend
I was afraid to hear the words "I love you" said to me
I was afraid to say those words back, frightened as could be
chorus
but then you came to me and washed the fear away
I'm not afraid anymore, it lessens every single day
the more I fall in love the more this becomes true
because I know that there is no reason to be afraid of you
I was always afraid to think about getting married in life
I was afraid of having a husband and being someone's wife
I was always afraid to think about having a family of my own
I always replaced that with thoughts of living all alone
I was always afraid of letting those thoughts enter my mind
I thought of just about anything else that I could find
I was afraid to let someone get so close to me, so near
but now that I have you I know there is no reason to fear
chorus
I am not afraid of you, there is no need to be
I know that you are the right person for me
and little by little my fear will slowly fade
because now I know that there is no reason to be afraid
chorus
