Afraid Of Love
J Rice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't be afraid
I keep on telling myself that I'm alright
But I know that this one's another turn
When I let her go, when I was fine, oh I can't lie
Cause I never fell harder, I stopped when you started
Arrived when you parted & now I'm stuck here
Why did I listen to my inhibitions and run
Now I know, you were the only one
Now I'm the lonely one watching the days go by
I can never forgive myself
I think that I need some help, because
I'm afraid of love, love, love (4x)
I turn the light off at night when I start to cry
I don't wanna see my life passing by
I finally found someone who could open up my eyes
Cause I never fell harder, I stopped when you started
Arrived when you parted & now I'm stuck here
Why did I listen to my inhibitions and run
When there was nowhere to go?
Now I know, you were the only one
Now I'm the lonely one watching the days go by
I can never forgive myself
I think that I need some help, because
I'm afraid of love, love, love (8x)
(I'm so afraaaaaid)
Now I know, you were the only one
Now I'm the lonely one watching the days go by
I can never forgive myself
I think that I need some help, because
I'm afraid of love, love, love (8x)
The lyrics of J Rice's song Afraid of Love speaks about the singer's fear of love. He keeps telling himself that he's okay and that he can handle it, but deep down he knows that his recent breakup has left him vulnerable and scared. He reminisces about the past, how he let go of someone he loved, and how he's now stuck with the consequences of his actions.
The singer admits that he's afraid of love, and this fear has caused him to turn his back on love when it was within his reach. He reveals that he turns off the light at night when he cries, indicating that he's in a dark place and struggling to cope with his emotions. After finding someone who opened up his eyes to love, he now realizes that he made a mistake by running away from love, and he is now left alone with the days passing him by.
In conclusion, the song is about overcoming the fear of love and not being afraid to take a leap of faith. It speaks to the pain of losing someone you love and the struggle of coming to terms with it. Ultimately, the singer realizes that he needs help to heal and move on from his fear of love to find happiness once again.
