Fearless Love - Melissa Etheridge

When I woke up I was 17

You kissed my lips in a bad bad dream

Showed me things aren’t what they appear to be

Called me angel and set me free

You gave me life in the cold cold dark

But you ran away in the mornings spark

Made me think that reality

Is not where I want to be

I am what I am and

I am what I am afraid of

Oh what am I afraid of

I need a fearless love

Don’t need to fear the end

If you can’t hold me now

You will never hold me again

I want to live my life

Pursuing all my happiness

I want a fearless love

I won’t settle for anything less

I’ve walked my path had worlds collide

I lost my way and I fooled my pride

This lover’s ache wouldn’t feel so strange

If I could only change

But I am what I am and

I am what I am afraid of

So what am I afraid of

I need a fearless love

Don’t need to fear the end

If you can’t hold me now

You will never hold me again

I want to live my life

Pursuing all my happiness

I want a fearless love

I won’t settle for anything less

Now I’m not here to lay the blame

I understand when you hold a flame

Heads will shake heads will turn

And sometimes you just get burned
