Afraid of the Breakup

[Verse 1]
In the morning, she wakes up to a familiar smell
As the breeze rushes in past her window sill
I cooked breakfast, she gets up and opens the door
But I'm not even there anymore
'Cause I just left her, I'm afraid of being in love
I get scared when you start to give me too much
So I'm running from love, I'm running from us
Never to be hurt again

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the first time, you fall hard the first time
Give them your whole world and put everything on the line
I learned the hard way when you give your heart away
Things don't always work out and you don't wanna deal with the pain

[Chorus]
This is the song for the lonely hearts
Who try to work it out, but you get torn apart
And you're hesitant to start over again
'Cause you're afraid of the breakup
It's the worst feeling when you're all alone
When you walk through the door, but nobody's home
And you know it ain't right, this is your life
Now you're afraid of the breakup

[Verse 2]
Let me tell you
Three years ago she had me so wrapped up
Caught up in love
She played me for a fool
Now they say I'm cold-hearted
She chewed me up, spit me out, that's what turned my heart blue
I can't stand any of anything we used to do
I hate to say it, but she messed it up for you and you and you

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the first time, you fall hard the first time
Give them your whole world and put everything on the line
I learned the hard way when you give your heart away
Things don't always work out and you don't wanna deal with the pain

[Chorus]
This is the song for the lonely hearts
Who try to work it out, but you get torn apart
And you're hesitant to start over again
'Cause you're afraid of the breakup
It's the worst feeling when you're all alone
When you walk through the door, but nobody's home
And you know it ain't right, this is your life
Now you're afraid of the breakup

[Bridge]
This is my heart
And this is the way that
I must make sure I don't get hurt again
Don't take offense, but you can't pretend
Like you like to get hurt, too
If you're afraid of the past, then this song is for you
If you treat people bad, does it happen to you?
If you don't ever wanna give your heart away again
Don't look away 'cause I'm talking to you

[Chorus]
This is the song for the lonely hearts
Who try to work it out, but you get torn apart
And you're hesitant to start over again
'Cause you're afraid of the breakup
It's the worst feeling when you're all alone
When you walk through the door, but nobody's home
And you know it ain't right, this is your life
Now you're afraid of the breakup
This is the song for the lonely hearts
Who try to work it out, but you get torn apart
And you're hesitant to start over again
'Cause you're afraid of the breakup
It's the worst feeling when you're all alone
When you walk through the door, but nobody's home
And you know it ain't right, this is your life
Now you're afraid of the breakup

[Outro]
What you know about it?
Don't you be afraid of the breakup
I ran away 'cause I'm afraid
She messed me up
Said she messed me up
