Afraid This Time

Even if you want, you can't touch me now
Leave me if you want, you can't hurt me now

Build them up
High and strong so you'll never have to hurt too long
Put them up
'Til they surround and there's no real you left to be found
Hold it up
High above no fear of hope or trust or love
Close it up
And hold your ground and wait
Until it's time to finally close it down

It isn't easy to admit
I don't think I'm believing it
I'm afraid this time
Ooooh, ooooh
(It isn't easy to admit, I don't think I'm believing it)
It's not the same this time
Ooooh, ooooh
(It isn't easy to admit, I don't think I'm believing it)

Until it's time to finally close it down

I'm afraid this time
Ooooh, ooooh
(It isn't easy to admit, I don't think I'm beleiving it)
It's not the same this time
I'm afraid this time

Leave me if you want, you can't hurt me now)

(This isn't easy to admit, but I don't think I'm beleiving it)
Ooooh, ooooh
(Even if you want, you can't touch me now
Leave me if you want, you can't hurt me now)

This isn't easy to admit, but I'm afraid
This isn't easy to admit, but I'm afraid
This isn't easy to admit, but I'm afraid
This isn't easy to admit, but I'm afraid
This isn't easy to admit, but I'm afraid this time

This isn't easy to admit, but I'm afraid
This isn't easy to admit, but I'm afraid
This isn't easy to admit, but I'm afraid
This isn't easy
