I know I'm not the only one out there that dated someone that was terrified of real love and commitment. It is such a reflection on the deeper fears that linger below the surface....
lyrics
SAFE FROM LOVE
You run from the things I say
From the light of day, from the bitter pain
And you run down the fire escape
From the breaking waves, from the love I gave
You flee down the easy road
Where love never goes, where love never goes
You flee down the corridor
From what’s in store, when you give it all away
You’re keeping safe from love
Aren’t you baby, aren’t you baby
You trip on your own two feet
When you’re close to me, on the words you speak
You run from the smoking gun
And you come undone, from the things you start to feel
You’re keeping safe from love
Aren’t you baby, aren’t you baby
You’re keeping safe from love
Aren’t you baby, aren’t you baby
I’ll break you down, baby you’ll come around someday
You’re keeping safe from love
Aren’t you baby, aren’t you baby
You’re keeping safe from love
Aren’t you baby, aren’t you baby
(You don’t know when you’ve got it good, with a love that you should hold on to, but you let it slip away)
