Sometimes I see his face I want to hold you but it feels unsafe Too scared to give me heart up now I'm not brave enough to play my part now Can you guarantee that you'll stay Here with me, with me Feels strange like a foreign thing I'm still waiting for the love to kick in Sometimes when I watch you sleeping I keep hand to check you're breathing It's not fair, not your fault Not at all, not at all Once bitten, twice shy I try and I try, I try Cause I'm holding on to nothing I'm holding on to nothing Once bitten, twice shy I can't seem to find the strength What's the point in keeping you at arm's length I want to love you but I can't imagine What I'd do if the worst did happen Can you guarantee that you'll stay Here with me, with me Once bitten, twice shy I try and I try, I try Cause I'm holding on to nothing I'm holding on to nothing Once bitten, twice shy Where I've been, never thought No I won't go back Couldn't take anymore I'm not going back Going back, going back Once bitten, twice shy I try and I try, I try Cause I'm holding on to nothing I'm holding on to nothing Once bitten, twice shy
