too afraid to love you

my gears they grind

more each day

and i feel like

they're gonna grind away

and the city blocks

they drive me wild

they're never ending

mile after mile

i just don't know what to do

i'm too afraid to love you

it's heaven on earth

in her embrace

her gentle touch

and her smiling face

i'm just one wishing

that i was a pair

with someone

oh somewhere

i just don't know what to do

i'm too afraid to love you

all those sleepless nights

and all those wasted days

i wish loneliness would leave me

but i think it's here to stay

what more can i do

i'm wringing myself dry

and i can't afford to lose

one more teardrop from my eye
