[Verse 1]
I think about how to finally overcome my fears
And I, I think about it all the time
You should know that I am trying everything I can
But I, I can't do it all tonight

[Verse 2]
And there's a part of me that wants to forget certainty
'Cause it, it never got me anywhere, no
And I don't mean to be doubting your sincerity
But, oh, 'cause this has been a careful girl's nightmare

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I know you gave me the time I need
But baby, it would mean everything
If you'd listen and don't give up just yet
It's just that

[Chorus]
It scares me that I care about you
That I can't go a day without you
Oh baby, can you show me how to let go?
I just want to feel this heart
Finally I'll be free to start
Out with you on a new road
[Post-Chorus]
But why am I afraid to know?

[Verse 2]
It's so much easier to keep myself from feeling what I do
But I just can't anymore
And I am terrified of loving someone unpredictable as you
But my foot is in the door, yeah

[Pre-Chorus 2]
It isn't that my heart's not in it
In fact it's quite the opposite
And it's getting the best of me, oh, but I'll try, I'll try not to let it
It's just that

[Chorus]
It scares me that I care about you
That I can't go a day without you
Oh baby, can you show me how to let go?
Oh, I just want to feel this heart
Finally I'll be free to start
Out with you on a new road

[Post-Chorus]
But why am I afraid to know?
[Bridge]
There's something that I want, but I'm afraid to know just what
Oh, I'm afraid to know just what, oh yeah
I love you but it's just, I'm afraid to know how much
Oh, I'm afraid to know how much, oh

[Chorus]
It scares me that I care about you
That I can't go a day without you
Oh baby, can you show me how to let go?
Oh, I just want to feel this heart
Finally I'll be free to start
Out with you on a new road

[Post-Chorus]
But why am I afraid to know?

[Outro]
Why am I afraid to know, yeah?
But, why am I afraid to know?
