scared to death

maybe one of us should call
maybe one of us should write
who knows? it's impossible to tell

but if both of us should fall
for love at second sight
we ought to be ashamed of ourselves

cause everything has a shelf life
a half-life, a cancer
a pin to pull in a pinch

we can talk about better times
we can act like there's an answer
but neither of us will ever give an inch

and in another time or place
i could have loved you, but now
you make me sad

i'm scared to death that you were right
and i'm scared to death that i'm wasting time
i'm scared to death no-one can see me now

and i'm scared to death to be on my own
i'm scared to death that i'll die alone
i'm scared to death that i've forgotten how
to love

i won't convince myself i've changed
or life is better than it seems
no, i learn my lessons well

cause love is phony love is staged
it's a big dumb wax museum
where everyone just keeps to themselves

and in another time or place
i could have loved you, but now
you make me sad

i'm scared to death that you were right
and i'm scared to death that i'm wasting time
i'm scared to death no-one can see me now

and i'm scared to death to be on my own
i'm scared to death that i'll die alone
i'm scared to death that i've forgotten how
to love

end.
