In the morning
She wakes up to a familiar smell
As the breeze rushes in past her window sill
I cooked breakfast
She gets up and opens the door
But I'm not even there anymore
Cause I just left her
Afraid of bein in love
I get scared when you start to give me too much
So I'm runnin from love
I'm runnin from us
Never to be hurt again

Cause the first time
You fall hard the first time
Give 'em your whole world and put everything on the line
I learned the hard way when you give your heart away
Things don't always work out
And you don't wanna deal with the pain

This is the song for the lonely hearts
Try to work it out but you get torn apart
And you're hesistant to start over again
Cause you're afraid of the breakup
It's the worst feelin when you're all alone
When you walk throuhg the door but nobody's home
And you know it ain't right
This is your life
Now you're afraid of the breakup

Let me tell you
Three years ago she had me so wrapped up
Caught up in love
She played me for a fool
Now they say I'm cold-hearted
She chewed me up, spit me out, that's what turned my heart blue
I can't stand any of anythin we used to do
I hate to say it but she messed it up for you, and you, and you

Cause the first time
You fall hard the first time
Give 'em your whole world and put everything on the line
I learned the hard way when you give your heart away
Things don't always work out
And you don't wanna deal with the pain

This is the song for the lonely hearts
Try to work it out but you get torn apart
And you're hesistant to start over again
Cause you're afraid of the breakup
It's the worst feelin when you're all alone
When you walk throuhg the door but nobody's home
And you know it ain't right
This is your life
Now you're afraid of the breakup

This is my heart
And this is the way that I must make sure I don't get hurt again
Don't take offense but you can't pretend like you like to get hurt too
If you're afraid of the past then this song is for you
If you treat people bad does it happen to you
If you don't ever wanna give your heart away again
Don't look away cause I'm talkin to you

This is the song for the lonely hearts
Try to work it out but you get torn apart
And you're hesistant to start over again
Cause you're afraid of the breakup
It's the worst feelin when you're all alone
When you walk throuhg the door but nobody's home
And you know it ain't right
This is your life
Now you're afraid of the breakup
This is the song for the lonely hearts
Try to work it out but you get torn apart
And you're hesistant to start over again
Cause you're afraid of the breakup
It's the worst feelin when you're all alone
When you walk throuhg the door but nobody's home
And you know it ain't right
This is your life
Now you're afraid of the breakup_

What you know about it
Don't you be afraid of the breakup
Ooh
I ran away cause I'm afraid
Ooh she messed me up
Said she messed me up
