Terrified
Embracing Love's Uncertainty: Terrified by Vincent Lima
Lyrics
His smile was wide, but it was labored
Despite appearing happy, his smile seemed forced or strained.
It's a thing he couldn't help each time she laughed
His reaction to her laughter was involuntary, suggesting he couldn't control his response.
He tried to hide inside her gaze, but every time she looked away
He attempted to find refuge or solace in her gaze, but whenever she looked away, he felt uncertain.
He didn't know if she'd ever make it back
He was unsure if she would return or reconnect with him.
He wondered if the night might change them
He questioned whether the night or circumstances might alter their relationship.
If they walk too far, would the path erase their steps?
Concern about whether their actions or choices could impact their future together.
Is growing old just time that hates us?
Questioning if aging is merely a process that works against us.
Or am I so full of love to make it last?
Wondering if his immense love is enough to endure through time.
I'm terrified that I might change
Expressing fear about personal transformation.
But I'm terrified that I'll just stay the same
Fearful of remaining stagnant or unchanging.
I'm scared that you might walk away
Feeling scared of the possibility of the other person leaving.
If I don't change, or I don't stay the same
Concerned about the consequences whether they change or remain the same.
Should I change, or should I stay the same?
Pondering whether to change or maintain the current state.
Her eyes came back, it felt like ages
Her return felt like a significant period had passed.
She felt the way his words were rife with doubt
She sensed his uncertainty through his hesitant words.
She smiled said let your fears complain I've got them too and let me say
She reassured him that she shared similar fears and uncertainties.
I'm certain that they'll be here for awhile
Belief that their fears might persist for some time.
I don't know how the night might change us
Uncertainty about how their experiences during the night might alter them.
I'm not sure just how far this road will go
Unsure about the extent or direction of their journey.
I don't know how much time might hate us
Questioning the effect of time on their relationship.
But I want to spend it terrified with you
Expressing the desire to face fears together in their relationship.
I'll love you if you grow and change
Committing to love the other person irrespective of their growth or constancy.
I'll love you if you don't and stay the same
Promising not to leave, regardless of whether the other person changes or remains the same.
I promise I won't walk away
Reiterating the promise of not abandoning the other person.
If you don't change, or you don't stay the same
Assuring love despite the other person changing or staying the same.
I'll love you if you grow and change
Repeating the commitment to love despite potential changes.
I'll love you if you don't and stay the same
Restating the promise to love irrespective of constancy.
I promise I won't walk away
Reaffirming the commitment to stay regardless of changes or constancy.
If you don't change, or you don't stay the same
Reiterating the assurance of staying despite changes or constancy.
I'll love you darling, either way
Declaring love regardless of any circumstance or outcome.
I love you darling, either way
Expressing unconditional love, irrespective of the situation.
