Afraid to give my heart

Suffering and past scars remain strong and lurking in our soul

by dint of being broken, I wonder who will love me

so I buried myself in the one and only thing I could write

I see love everywhere I feel it but my heart remains closed

by doubt and the aftermath of lost loves

from which I gave everything but received nothing

the only thing that makes my heart beat a little bit are my daughter's I love you every night

loneliness becomes heavy I seek peace

but I still can't forgive myself for loving so much

so I only have fear and regret next to my glass of whiskey to better drown my pain

Love hurts more than it heals but we see it anyway

i remember this incubus title love hurts

who talks about how good it is to be loved and how he transcends bad things.

I accept and I believe but for the moment I take a break
