Scared

We'd leave the party early
Every single time
Sneak out to my car
Just to be out of sight
So she could kiss me, touch me
Do what she did best just as long
As nobody noticed
It was a game I couldn't win
She promised one day she would
Tell them all
And I promised myself that I
Wouldn't fall cause I knew how
This would end all along
Because
She'd make sure to drop my hand
When somebody would stare
And she's still making sure her parents
Don't find out about the bed we shared
I couldn't make her stay
Even with all of my prayers
It'll never be fair cause I know she cared
She was just scared
(It'll never be fair cause I know she cared)
She was just scared
(It'll never be fair cause I know she cared)
Now I'm scared I'll never let this go
Cause it still aches down to the bone
And I'm scared that I'll never feel whole
But maybe I'll see her in a bar one day
Twenty years later and she'll call my name
Maybe by then things will have changed
From when
She'd make sure to drop my hand
When somebody would stare
And she's still making sure her friends
Don't find out about the summer we shared
I couldn't make her stay
Even with all of my prayers
It'll never be fair cause I know she cared
She was just scared
(It'll never be fair cause I know she cared)
She was just scared
(It'll never be fair cause I know she cared)
Wherever she is, I hope she's okay
Cause I'm still taking it day by day
I hope that she faced all of the things
She couldn't face back in the day
Back when
She'd make sure to drop my hand
When somebody would stare
And I wonder if her parents ever
Found out about the nights we shared
I couldn't make her stay
Even with all of my prayers
It'll never be fair cause I know she cared
She was just scared
