As my heart beats
It's throbbing with pain
People come and go
But memories remain

I know it's my fault
That my heart keeps breaking
Because of the mistakes
I keep making

The problem seems to be
I don't know what I do wrong
But I know this curse
Has gone on for too long

One right after another
My relationships fail
It seems I'm trapped
In a lover's hell

I want to love
And be loved in return
But I'm scared of hurting
And scared of getting burned

I'm so worried I'll mess up
Like all the times before
I'm sick of the confusion
I can't take much more

Each day I pray for rain
To hide my streaming tears
And walk with my head down
Trying to ignore my fears

If I didn't need this heart
To pump blood through my veins
Could I tear it out
And escape my pains

So I ask myself
As I stare at the stars above
Is this to be my life
Living in fear of love
