Amy Rigby - How People Are lyrics

You shouldn't be allowed To walk around out there in the world Where everyone can see your face They shouldn't be permitted to lay eyes on you I wish that I could keep you locked up safe inside Cause you're too good to share A precious thing I wanna hide What scares me the most is not how you are What scares me the most is how people are Selfish and searching for someone like you Watching and waiting for two in love to screw it up They say that the stars Protect trusting hearts I'm not sure When all around the evidence Would suggest the opposite, it's a tragedy When we should be out walking underneath the sun But there's no telling who we'd see It could be anyone What scares me the most Is not how you are What scares me the most Is how people are Drifting and dreaming of someone like you Lonely and looking for two in love to screw it up I can't believe how perfect you are, I'm meant for you I can't believe how jealous I am of anyone you ever knew There was a time I thought we were free fromf worrying Now we both know that's no way to be We can't relax We watch our backs What scares me the most Is not how you are What scares me the most Is how people are
