Reluctancy
Embracing Vulnerability: Love, Fear, and the Dance of Reluctancy
Lyrics
I'm afraid of failing you
I have a fear of disappointing you
But let's face the truth
Let's confront the reality
It's something I am prone to do
Frequently, I tend to fail, and it's a tendency in me
It's not that I want to
Despite appearances, it's not my desire to fail
I'm afraid of loving you
I'm scared of expressing deep affection for you
It's not that I don't
It's not that I lack the feeling
But if I get too close
If I become too emotionally attached, things might go wrong
It will all fall through
There's a risk of everything falling apart
It will all fall through
The potential for everything to crumble is significant
What should I do
Contemplating what action to take
If I'm too afraid to get too close to you
Fear is hindering me from getting close to you
But I want to
Despite the fear, I desire closeness
But I want to
Reiterating the desire to be close
I'm afraid of hurting you
There's a fear of causing you emotional pain
But if I hide away
If I withdraw, succumbing to my thoughts
If I give into what my thoughts say
What will be the cost of giving in to fear?
What will I lose
There's a risk of personal emotional damage
I might break too
There's a possibility of breaking down
Will I pull through
Questioning the ability to endure
Will I pull through
Repeating the uncertainty of endurance
What should I do
Considering options when fear restricts closeness
If I'm too afraid to get too close to you
Fear is a barrier to intimacy
But I want to
Despite fear, the desire for closeness persists
But I want to
Reiterating the persistent desire for closeness
I can't give you what you're used to
I cannot provide what you are accustomed to
No matter how hard I try
No matter how much effort I exert
No matter what I say or do
Regardless of my words or actions
Let's face the truth
Let's acknowledge the reality of the situation
What should I do
Revisiting the dilemma of fear hindering closeness
If I'm too afraid to get too close to you
Addressing the question of what to do when fear limits intimacy
What should I do
Repeating the dilemma of fear obstructing closeness
If I'm too afraid to get too close to you
Reiterating the question of what to do when fear hinders closeness
But I want to
Despite fear, the longing for closeness persists
But I want to
Reiterating the enduring desire for closeness despite fear
