I'm afraid if you kissed me now
I might break down and cry
I'm afraid of your hand in mine
And to look you in the eye
The past was painful for me
And I'm finally okay now
But I'm afraid I won't be
If you work your way back somehow

So, it's okay if I don't see you
And maybe that's why I don't call
I don't want to believe you still love me
Because I don't want to fall...again

I'm afraid of all your questions
Because I don't know what they mean
I want to hate your desperate why's
But they fill a part of me
And I'm afraid to talk so much to you
But I won't hold back my words
I'll say anything I need to say
As long as I don't end up hurt
It scares me that you've missed me
And that there have been "what if's"
But distance is my security
Comforting me through all of this

So, it's okay if I don't see you
And maybe that's why I don't call
I don't want to believe you still love me
Because I don't want to fall...again

Tell me I'm wrong
That I'm over-thinking this
Tell me I'm silly
And there was never gonna be a kiss
Tell me you're fine
That you just want to clear the air
Tell me I'm wrong
That you don't want me there

And it would be okay if I don't see you
Guess that's why I don't really call
I don't want to believe you still love me
Because I know that I would fall...again
