emotionally handicapped

my desperate bid
to fall in love once again is burning
oh it scares me deep

to open this heart thats been lonely

i once gave my heart away

life was so beautiful as days went by

but when the lover swayed

and hurt to know i was betrayed

something about the whole thing

just numb me completely

i became incapable of loving

emotionally handicapped

too proud to admit i am lonely

to admit i just want to love and to be loved

i do wonder if you ever feel sorry

for lying and misleading

obviously no, you are always right

after all i was young and stupid

i have been alone far far too long

it scares me to fall in love again

will i be able to be someone's someone

and will not be hurt and betrayed
