Hope I Stay Scared

I know what it's like to have a world without you there
That's why I hope I stay scared
I want to be afraid of messing up, and scared of getting things wrong
It keeps me motivated to love you right, because in my arms is where you belong

Your beauty sometimes makes me mumble and struggle to get my words out
come clean to each other about our pasts and get the dirt out
I can't give you the world, but I'll give you my heart
Heal your pain, so you don't have to live with the scars 

Always lived by the motto, girls come and go, but the truth is I want you to stay
Knowing I'll be by your side at night, is how I make it through the day
We can fly anywhere if we put our wings together
No matter what I'm going through, your lips make everything better

I know your ex hurt you, but he doesn't exist no more
You've got a real man now, you don't need to wish no more 
I haven't had a nightmare since the day I met the girl of my dreams
You made me realize, life isn't as bad as it seems

I know what it's like to have a world without you there
That's why I hope I stay scared
I want to be afraid of messing up, and scared of getting things wrong
It keeps me motivated to love you right, because in my arms is where you belong
