SCARED HEARTS

 
SCARED HEARTS

Two broken marriages that caused so much hurt.
We knew that we had to let go of it if we wanted to put love first.
You're a country guy from Mississippi and I'm a laid back girl from Tennessee.
Asked me to give you a chance, you'll help me see that you're different from these other men, that you'll treat me differently.
Letting my guard down hoping that you would be honest.

You took my heart on a crash test and I fell in lust.
Months passed, still falling for you
Didn't even realize that I was in love with you.
Didn't even have a clue.
Until you suddenly pulled back because you were scared of heartache.

You stopped texting you stopped calling.
You kept asking yourself did you make a mistake by moving too fast?
Cause you kept replaying your past.
Your past hurt,
Thinking that I wouldn't be able to see the errors of my ways and change them.

Time passed and you slowly came back around but only after another girl came into town.
Now you're in love with two women and you don't know what to do.
Which one will you let fade?
Which one will you hold on to?
Which one do you want?
Which one is best for you.

You can't make up your mind.
You don't want to make up your mind.

So you give us both just enough love to hold on to.
Then suddenly you realize that you will end up breaking one of our hearts.
That one of us is going to leave angry and distraught.
You didn't want to be that man.
So you decided to step up.
You chose the girl you couldn't stop thinking of.
