Don't be afraid to love me
Don't be afraid to care
Don't be so scared to hurt me
I'm not counting on you to be fair
Don't hesitate to want me
Don't be afraid to show
Hold my hand against you now
But don't be ashamed to let go

Don't be afraid to love me
To love me

Don't sit and wait to know me
Don't walk away too soon
Stay here and lie beside me
But don't worry if that isn't you
Just don't let your head betray me
And not give your heart a break
Don't be so quick to judge me now
And not hear what I'm trying to say

'Cause I know you're afraid to love me
To love me

Don't let your lies forget me
Don't pretend you can't see
Touch me and I'll remember
I was ready as I'd ever be
So don't let me lose you again
Don't find out where I belong
Don't let my past get in my way
I swear that I'll right every wrong

Just don't be afraid to love me
Oh, to love me
To love me
To love me (yeah)
To love me (yeah)

To love me
To love me
To love me
To love me
To love me
