Why do I fear, what has not come to pass yet?
Waiting in anticipation for the worst to come,
Fearing troubles I have not yet met,
Paralyzed, inside and out.

Why can't I just take a chance?
Hope that good will come from it,
No, I can't, that'd be a risk,
There's the possibility I'll plummet.

Can't I live for now, not then,
Not the future I don't know,
Why must my mind keep telling me stories?
Put on some unknown, tragic, show.

I'll tell you why, in three words my dear,
I'll tell you why I can't get past fear,
Simply put, and bluntly said,
I'm a slave to rejection,
Slave to rejection.

The past is holding me back from love,
I'm afraid what might become of it,
Will I be left, or my heart be shoved,
I can't stop the questions,
I'm a slave to rejection.

I can't get close enough to you,
To start something that is real,
I pull away, I push away,
The unknown is making me reel.

Stay away, far away,
I can't let you closer now,
I have to protect what was broken before,
I have to heal it somehow.

How do I know that things won't be alright?
I don't and that’s what scares me,
I've been hurt before, when I least expected it,
I am lost in a relentless sea.

I'm a slave to rejection,
Can't get past the past,
Can't take any risks,
Relationships can't last.
