lyrics

And I am afraid
Of being afraid
Just keep dipping those words in spices
That you never had to say

Tell me a story where i fall in love with you
And in this story you fall in love too
And we can pretend that if words just don't matter much
We clean our mouths and forget what we've said

When you said that you loved me
You said in a different way
But since love is a feeling and feelings aren't real
This is starting to feel like the hardest thing i could say

And i am afraid of being afraid
Just pretend that the radio silence
were the words we should always say
