they say love is a leap of faith
i haven't wanted to jump
past failures are like neon warning signs
telling me to stay firmly planted on the ground
where i know it's safe
where i know i'm safe
your whats making me believe otherwise
i've never felt like this before
i'm so scared of being hurt
but i'm even more scared that your whats making me forget that
i don't want to forget
it's the pain i've felt thats kept me from being broken again
i believe in you so much,
it's making it hard to breathe when i'm around you
i'm scared that i'm ok with my heart being broken again
if it means being with you for a even just a moment
i've never felt this way before
they say love is a leap of faith
if i jump,
will you be there to catch me?

That's one of the important questions
to ask...
Enjoyed this very much...good line breaks,
falling naturally into scattered thoughts...

yes, I enjoyed this very much!

seems like you gotta keep jumping all the time, not just once
