Love's Fear

Have I lost my mind tonight?
I no longer see your love in sight
Can’t you see my heart’s fears?
Even though I ain’t crying tears
I feel like my life just can’t start 
We are so far apart, sweetheart
So far apart, sweetheart

I keep thinking of us that night
Wish I‘d just kept out of sight
Was it something I did to you?
That made your heart so blue
Turning back that clock again
Won’t make our love start again
My heart’s talking loud and clear
Gotta control my love’s fears

I just thought that I would ask
Was your love only a mask?
Were you like me, afraid of love?
Are we afraid it’s not enough?
We’ve gotta trust in love’s power 
For now this is our heart’s hour
This is our heart’s hour

I think of that night and confide
There was no place for me to hide
For all my fears were your tears
And all your fears were my tears
We can start love all over again
Cause real love is never in vain
My heart’s talking loud and clear
I got control of my love’s fear
