[Intro]
Cmaj7 Bm7 Em
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7Losing love, unrequited
BmWas it truly love? undecided
Em7Hard times, I'm broken
Em7Past lies, they leave you open
Em7I try, I'm hopeless
Em7At night, no way of coping
Cmaj7With this shredded heart
BmCan I get reparations for the pain?
EmBaby I'm afraid
Really I'm afraid
[Verse]
Of Emgiving you what they all mCmaj7essed up
My stress up
Took them pictures and I Bm7dressed up
Looking blessed up
Em7You need something and I got you
I spot you
Til i see your love is Emnot true
It's not true
And I'm scared of what that Cmajfeels like
Bm7Looking stupid out in real life
Em7Baby I'm Afraid
EmReally I'm Afraid
[Chorus] x2
       G   c
Of loving you
(I'm so afraid to love you)
With all mBmy heart, my time
(I'm so afraid of hurting again)
EmBaby I'm afraid
(I'm so afraid to love you)
CReally I'm afraid
(I'm so afraid of hurting again)
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7God has not given us the spirit of fear
But the Bmspirit of love looking like it's not here
I don't doEmubt your heart, I just know things change
CIt just leads to pain, I still bleed the same
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7I still say I'm fine, but I leave my brain
BmDont' wanna think no more, I can't defeat my shame
Em7Don't wanna play no more, I can't defeat this game
EmBut that phone still rings, can't delete your name
[Pre Chorus]
Cmaj7'cuz you give to me
Bm7Everything I pray for, every single day for
Listen to me, Emhonestly
EmYou don't have to wait for Gme to feel I'm safe or
Cmaj7That I'm ready this time
Em7I want no one else, not "too" focused on myself
Em7It's just baby I'm afraid
Really I'm afraid
