Melissa Etheridge - Fearless Love lyrics

When I woke up I was 17 You kissed my lips in a bad bad dream Showed me things aren't what they appear to be Called me angel and set me free You gave me life in the cold cold dark But you ran away in the mornings spark Made me think that reality Is not where I want to be I am what I am and I am what I am afraid of Oh what am I afraid of I need a fearless love Don't need to fear the end If you can't hold me now You will never hold me again I want to live my life Pursuing all my happiness I want a fearless love I won't settle for anything less I've walked my path had worlds collide I lost my way and I fooled my pride This lover's ache wouldn't feel so strange If I could only change But I am what I am and I am what I am afraid of So what am I afraid of I need a fearless love Don't need to fear the end If you can't hold me now You will never hold me again I want to live my life Pursuing all my happiness I want a fearless love I won't settle for anything less Now I'm not here to lay the blame I understand when you hold a flame Heads will shake heads will turn And sometimes you just get burned
