Afraid to Love Again

Fell in love some time ago,
I got my hopes up way too high.
He never saw me the way I saw him,
Because he fell for another girl.

He hurt me deep down inside,
He cut deep into this heart of mine,
He left me crying in the dust,
And now I'm afraid to love again.

I prayed to God that I'm afraid,
I told Him 'I'm afraid to love again,
Unless it's for eternity,
Unless it's for forever.'

I do not want to fall in love,
I tried it once before.
He hurt me deep down inside,
I don't want to feel this pain anymore.

I prayed to God in church today,
'I don't want to fall in love again.'
He said to me in my heart,
That 'It's okay to love.'

He says it'll be alright,
But I still don't want to fall in love,
'Cause he cut deep into this heart of mine,
And now I'm afraid to love again.

What can I do but trust in God,
How can I live with this pain inside,
He left me crying in the dust,
And now I'm afraid to love again.

What can you do but trust in God,
How can you live with this pain inside,
When you're afraid to love again?
Who else could say 'It's okay to love again.'
