Torn Between Love and Solitude

[INTRO] I see the sunset fading low, And I wonder if my heart should go. A part of me still craves a hand to hold, But fear reminds me of the tales untold. [VERSE 1] I’ve been down this road before, Opened my heart, and slammed the door. Love felt like heaven, then burned like hell, Left with nothing but an empty shell. [CHORUS] I want love, but I need my peace, A restless heart that won’t find ease. Scared to try, scared to stay alone, Caught between the warmth and the unknown. [VERSE 2] Your eyes, they spark a tempting glow, A path to something I may never know. But scars from the past still ache and sting, Afraid to trust, afraid to feel a thing. [CHORUS] I want love, but I need my peace, A restless heart that won’t find ease. Scared to try, scared to stay alone, Caught between the warmth and the unknown. [BRIDGE] They say the heart is made to heal, But how can I believe it’s real? I’ve built these walls, but they feel so thin, A battle I can’t lose, but I can’t win. [CHORUS] I want love, but I need my peace, A restless heart that won’t find ease. Scared to try, scared to stay alone, Caught between the warmth and the unknown. [OUTRO] The night falls, and I’m left to choose, A heart that loves or one that bruises. Maybe tomorrow, I’ll find my way, But tonight, I’m just a man afraid.
