Don't get too close to me
Or I will have to leave
I will have to leave
'Cause just when things get too good
I always tend to run
I always tend to run

And I can feel you take the weight off me
And somehow you make it all seem easy
You see me as the child that I was then
A trophy but abandoned and unwanted
And I'm afraid of falling
I'm afraid of falling...

When I tell you these things
It feels like you were there
It's just like you were there
And I'm not afraid to go back
When I relive these moments
When I relive these moments

And I can feel you take the weight off me
And somehow you make it all seem easy
You see me as the child that I was then
A trophy but abandoned and unwanted
And I'm afraid of falling
I'm afraid of falling...

And when it seems that life just won't get better
You pick up all the pieces that have scattered
And make sense of the craziness inside me
So I can finally put it all behind me

And all I know is I can stay here with you
But a part of me could never belong to you
'Cause that's the part that I could never share
A silent cross that I will have to bear

Don't get too close to me
Or I will have to leave...
