Terrified

His smile was wide, but it was labored
It's a thing he couldn't help each time she laughed
He tried to hide inside her gaze, but every time she looked away
He didn't know if she'd ever make it back

He wondered if the night might change them
If they walk too far, would the path erase their steps?
Is growing old just time that hates us?
Or am I so full of love to make it last?

I'm terrified that I might change
But I'm terrified that I'll just stay the same
I'm scared that you might walk away
If I don't change, or I don't stay the same
Should I change, or should I stay the same?

Her eyes came back, it felt like ages
She felt the way his words were rife with doubt
She smiled said let your fears complain
I've got them too and let me say
I'm certain that they'll be here for awhile

I don't know how the night might change us
I'm not sure just how far this road will go
I don't know how much time might hate us
But I want to spend it terrified with you

I'll love you if you grow and change
I'll love you if you don't and stay the same
I promise I won't walk away
If you don't change, or you don't stay the same

I'll love you if you grow and change
I'll love you if you don't and stay the same
I promise I won't walk away
If you don't change, or you don't stay the same
If you don't change, or you don't stay the same

I'll love you darling, either way
I love you darling, either way
