Afraid for Love to Fade
Christian Bautista Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the time we met i've been beset by thoughts of you
And the more that i ignore this feeling
The more i find my self believin'
That i just have to see you again
I can't let you pass me by
I just can't let you go but i know
Afraid that i might say the wrong
Words and displease you
Afraid for love to fade
Before it can come true
Like a child again
I'm out and lost for words
How does one define a crush combined with longing
Longing to posses you oh so dearly
And i'm obsess by you completely
Ill go mad if i cant have you
I cant let you pass me by
I just cant let you go
But i know that i am much to shy to let you know

Afraid that i might say the wrong words and displeased you
Afraid for love to fade before it can come true
I cant let you pass me by
I just cant let you go let me say
The things and say the words to let you know
I would rather say the awkward words than to loose you
Afraid for love to fade
Before it can come true
Afraid for love to fade
Before it can come true…
The lyrics of Christian Bautista's song "Afraid for Love to Fade" encapsulates the feeling of being emotionally beset by someone, whose thoughts constantly pervade one's mind. The persona of the song expresses his hesitancy to confess his feelings for the person, because of his fear that he might say the wrong thing and turn the other person off. His reluctance comes from the fact that he has become almost completely engrossed in the person, whose absence in his life makes him feel restless and incomplete.
The chorus of the song conveys the internal conflict that the persona feels as he makes a desperate plea to the person to not let love fade away. He acknowledges his shyness and inability to express his feelings in a straightforward manner, but realizes that if he doesn't speak up, he might lose the opportunity completely. He would rather take the risk of sounding awkward than to lose the person without even trying.
Overall, the song evokes a bittersweet sentimental feeling, and the heart-wrenching lyrics would resonate with anyone who has ever found themselves in this predicament.
