If I...

If I fall in love,
What's gonna keep my heart from shattering
When you say that we're through

If I take that chance,
How can I be sure I'll ever fall in love again
With anyone else but you

If I give you my heart,
Where will I find an unbroken one,
After you're done playing with mine

If I fall head over heels,
Who will tell me everything's gonna be alright
Who can keep my soul from dying?

Why should I risk it?
With so little to gain
Why should I gamble?
When its bound to bring pain
And admist these fears and doubts I have
There's only one thing I know to be true
Although my world may come crumbling down
I can't help but fall in love with you

So please be very careful
With the heart you now possess
Cause its very fragile
As you probably could guess

I've never trusted anyone with it before
I feel so helpless giving it away
But I trust you more than anyone else
So I'm letting you keep it today

Why should I risk it?
With so much to lose
Why should I gamble?
And take the chance I'll be used
And admist these fears and doubts I have
I know this much is true
Between when I wake up and when I sleep at night
I can only think of you
