Bare

I’d love peace in my soul
That girl by my side
But she can kill me quick
With just a look of eyes.

For if I looked for love
And love not there
That’s not a look
I much could bare.

I ain’t scared of much
She scares me through
Running into my fears
Is what I always do.

And if I looked for love
And love looked back
Well, I’m not sure this world
Could get much better than that.

But if I looked for love
And love not there
Well, that’s not a look
I much could bare.
