The Pause - by

I'm
afraid to open my heart
Scared to pursue people I don't know
Intimidated by beauty I feel superior to mine
Frightened by the prospect of rejection
So how is it alright to fuck everybody
Take chance upon chance of getting diseases
Risk become the creator of another inhabitant of hell
Open another heart I'm not willing to care for
What if I hear that the one I do love
What if she says she would have taken me back
If I wouldn't have done all those girls
If I would have waited for her
Should I believe her?
Is this something to make me believe
I still had a chance so I still might now?
Make me further obsess on any way how?
Nobody knows
I'm still waiting to see
I'm not waiting anymore
Can't wait
Forever waiting
