Terrified

Katharine McPhee · Unbroken [2010]

Mm-mm,mm-mm,mm-mm,



You by the light

Is the greatest find

In a world full of wrong

You're the thing that's right

Finally made it through

The lonely to the other side



You set it again, my heart's in motion

Every word feels like a shooting star

I'm at the edge of my emotions

Watching the shadows burning in the dark

And I-ei-ei-I'm in love and I-ei-ei-I'm terrified

For the first time and the last time

In my on,ly life,



Mm-mm, (Mm-mm) And this could be good

It's already better than that

And nothing's worse than knowing

You're holding back

I could be all that you needed

If you let me try,hi,



You set it again, my heart's in motion

Every word feels like a shooting star

I'm at edge of my emotions

Watching the shadows

Burning in the dark

And I-ei-ei-I'm in love and I-ei-ei-I'm terrified

For the first time and the last time

In my on,ly



I only said it 'cause I mean it

Oh,I only mean 'cause it's true,

Oh,So don't you doubt what I've been dreaming,

'Cause it fills me up and holds me close

Whenever I'm without you



You set it again (you set it again,), my heart's in motion,

Every word feels like a shooting star,

Watching the shadows

Burning in the dark

And I-ei-ei-I'm in love and I-ei-ei-I'm terrified

For the first time and the last time

In my on,ly life,

Life,

Life,

In my on,ly life,
