I'm Scared

by Peter Karp & Sue Foley

on Blackbird (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (2020), He Said She Said (2010)

I'm scared
So very scared
For so long
Seems like forever
I've wished for you
For someone who
Can relieve the doubt
And straiten me out
And even though I feel you
And the love we have to share
I'm scared

I know you tried
Oh, I know you tried
I can't blame you anymore
Deep in my soul
There's an empty hole
That's as hollow as December
For as long as I remember
I'm scared

I'm looking at my hands
They seem so old
They feel so cold
And I've been fighting with a ghost
That's lived inside of me
For all these years

I don't have a plan
I don't know where I stand
I don't know who I am
All I can do is say, "I love you, darling"
And I hope you understand
I'm scared
I'm scared
I am scared
So very scared
