Lyrics

Aren't you afraid? 
Afraid of this furtive business we have
Afraid of where it is going
Afraid that it's getting us nowhere

Chorus:
I am afraid that my heart 
Ends up crushed really badly
I know you mean well, 
But you don’t stay here with me, oh 

I am afraid that my heart 
(I am afraid that my heart gets broken)
Ends up crushed really badly
I know you mean well, 
But you don’t stay here with me… 

I can’t stand the pain
Our love is in vain without hope
(I’m bleeding to death)
What is it then that you want to gain
From making me feel a burden to you?

I swear I’ll find a man
Who thinks I am worth the peril
I just have to understand 
That you and I are ill-fated

Chorus:
I am afraid ( I am afraid) that my heart  
Ends up crushed really badly (I know you mean well)
I know you mean well, 
But you don’t stay here with me (No no)

I am afraid that my heart 
(I am afraid that my heart gets broken)
Ends up crushed really badly (I am afraid)
I know you mean well, 
(I know you mean well)
But you don’t stay here with me… 

I can’t stand the pain
Our love is in vain without hope
(I’m bleeding to death)
What is it then that you want to gain
From making me feel a burden to you?

(Instrumental break)

Chorus:
(Baby I) I am afraid that my heart 
(That my heart gets badly broken)
Ends up crushed really badly
(Baby I) I know you mean well, 
But you don’t stay here with me…

I like to play riffs through Marshall Mini Stacks and go back later and add the BOSS effects.
