Fear
Raahiem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Forever run away from love
Know that
Forever aint always enough
So take a drastic chance on us
I wanna be the one
Be the one to give you love
What are you afraid of?
What made you just change up?
Pain can't hide behind your make up
Theres more to life than what is made of
Runaway love x8
It's hard to be so patient




No, I can't stand the waiting
This love is yours so take it
