Afraid This Time Lyrics

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

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

It isn't easy to admit
I don't think I'm believing it

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

Build them up
So you'll never have to hurt too long
Put them up
There's no real you left to be found
Hold it up
No fear of hope or trust or love
Close it up
Wait until it's time to finally close it down

(This isn't easy to admit, but I don't think I'm believing it)
I'm afraid this time
(This isn't easy to admit, but I don't think I'm believing it)
It's not the same this time
(Even if you want, you can't touch me now
Leave me if you want, you can't hurt me now)
I'm afraid
(Even if you want, you can't touch me now
Leave me if you want, you can't hurt me now)

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

I'm afraid this time
(This isn't easy to admit, but I don't think I'm believing it)
I'm afraid this time
(Even if you want, you can't touch me now)
It's not the same this time
(Leave me if you want, you can't hurt me now)
I'm afraid
(Even if you want, you can't touch me now
I'm afraid
(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
