Maybe I'm Afraid

Maybe I'm afraid to open up and let You in behind the curtain
Maybe I'm afraid of the questions I know You'd raise, of what I thought was certain
Maybe I'm afraid of the mess that it's sure to make, of all I tried to simplify and organize
But I just can't deny that there's no way I can hide

It's written on my face and all the complications
Fumbling with my equations now
They crumble to the ground
With everything I fought to be without Your help
Cause if I let You in I'll never be the same, so I try to escape
Maybe I'm afraid

Maybe I'm afraid to let it go and just accept the love You've spoken
Maybe I'm afraid of the way that I know You'll fix everything that's broken
Or maybe I'm afraid cause I don't know who You are
And that the more I keep from You
The more I'll lose, so what am I holding on to

Afraid I'll be complete and still so weak in Your hands
Maybe I'm afraid
Afraid that it won't last
I'll only be only half without You

Maybe I'm afraid to let You change my heart with all it's hiding
And maybe I'm afraid that I just might fall apart unless Your beside me
Maybe I'm afraid
