Lyrics

afraid to love you (like I do) - duet
(c) 2006 david hall songwriter

i pride myself in being tough
i needed a break, so we broke up
although it's over, I sometimes pretend
that were lovers, and not just friends
 
i?m afraid to love you, like I do
the words get caught on the way to you
love once hurt me love was untrue
i?m afraid to say I love you, like I do

i keep thinking about the day we broke up
you wouldn?t talk, so I gave up
i have to force my smile everyday
?sept for missing you, Im doing okay

dont be afraid to love me too
let my love in, Im waiting for you
i cant change the past but I can pull you through
dont be afraid to say you love me, too

i know he hurt you and left you alone, but I am here to hold you, keep you at night
if you could just help me walk from these scars and into your arms, you can hold me all night

i called you up, a little after nine
just like you did, a thousand times
the words stopped before they came out
if were stronger Id let em out, just let em out

i?m afraid to love you like I do (dont be afraid)
the words get caught on the way to you
i can?t change the past but I can pull you through
im afraid to say I love you , like I do

i?m afraid to love you like I do (dont be afraid)
the words get caught on the way to you
i promise you girl, I will always be true
i?m afraid to say I love you, like I do (dont be afraid)
