i’m not scared

I'm not scared of you, you know?

And I've got to tell you so.

For keeping this within myself,

would sure not help it grow.

You tolerate my bull shit,

and we enjoy the times we share.

Could it be you?  God only knows.

Till we're willing to take the dare.

And then we'll know, with no regrets.

The answer addressed here.

Are you for me?  Am I for you?

Then pray each one's sincere.

There are times in life, where you must make that jump,

and hope it's not in vain.

But it's the only way to reach the other side.

Where you'll hope there's no more pain.

I'm not scared of you, for I'm your friend,

one that will never go away.

So don't be scared of me, give us the chance,

that will chase our fears away.
