" I'm Afraid "
© 2001 Brian Eggertsen, All Rights Reserved

Verse 1:
I’ve called you a thousand times
But you’re never at home,
Wonder where you are at night
Wonder if you’re alone.

Been ‘round you’re house day and night
But you are never there,
I dream of you all the time
Wonder if you still care.

If only I could,
If only you would,
Let me love you.
If only I may,
If only I might,
be the one you love tonight.

Chorus:
‘Cause everythin’ I do
Reflects the love I have for you
But I’m afraid you don’t need me
The way that I need you.
You’re my brunin’ fire
Everythin’ my heart can desire
But I’m afraid you don’t need me
The way that I need you.

Verse 2:
Been checkin’ all the places
Where we used to go,
Askin’ unknown faces
Tryin’ to let you know.

Been talkin’ to our friends
About how I feel,
Wonderin’ if it’s the end
Oh tell me you love me still.

Refrain:
If only I could,
If only you would,
Let me love you.
If only I may,
If only I might,
be the one you love tonight.

Chorus:
‘Cause everythin’ I do
Reflects the love I have for you
But I’m afraid you don’t need me
The way that I need you.
You’re my brunin’ fire
Everythin’ my heart can desire
But I’m afraid you don’t need me
The way that I need you.

Refrain:
If only I could,
If only you would,
Let me love you.
If only I may,
If only I might,
be the one you love tonight.

Chorus:
‘Cause everythin’ I do
Reflects the love I have for you
But I’m afraid you don’t need me
The way that I need you.
You’re my brunin’ fire
Everythin’ my heart can desire
But I’m afraid you don’t need me
The way that I need you.

Bridge:
Everythin’ that I do
Reflects my love for you,
And you’re my burnin’ fire
All my heart could ever desire.

Chorus:
‘Cause everythin’ I do
Reflects the love I have for you
But I’m afraid you don’t need me
The way that I need you.
You’re my brunin’ fire
Everythin’ my heart can desire
But I’m afraid you don’t need me
The way that I need you.

OMG! This so freakin' great!!!   I want a CD now!! lol  
Seriously, this is one of your better songs that you have written. I could relate to every single line in this. Wowsers...thanks for the read. In case you couldn't tell, I really enjoyed it.

Awe...this is really very sweet.   I haven't read something this romantic in a while.
