Afraid

sometimes I come across,

As someone who's closed off,

You think it's true but it's not,

I just don't let anyone see.

No one will ever want the real me,

So i hide behind the phoney,

Keeping my heart hidden,

So I know it will never bleed.

I'm afraid to let anyone in,

They'll run from the me within,

I act like I live a life of sin,

When that just isn't me.

Curling up and watching a movie,

Is more my kind of thing,

But the chances of a guy like that existing,

Is slim to none for me.

So i continue to hide,

Letting no one see inside,

No one will ever get to see,

That when i'm alone, i cry.

Im afraid to fall in love,

My number's already up,

Too bad I missed the call,

Now i just miss out.
