Running Scared

You told me you loved me,
You whispered sweet nothings in my ear.
Naive, I believed every word.
Now you're gone, no longer here...

I cried for you - a million tears or more,
I really thought you cared.
I've tried and tried to love again.
But,
You've got me running scared.

I don't want to care anymore,
It's already caused me so much pain.
You drove a dagger through my heart...
I won't let that happen again.

But I've realised,
Life without love isn't worth it.
I want to give someone my heart -
It's just, after loving you,
I'm afraid they'll tear it apart.

You hurt me.
You've got me running scared.
I should never have believed you.
Still,
Some part of me knows,
Once, you really cared.
