I Scare Myself Lyrics

I scare myself just thinking about you
I scare myself when I'm without you
I scare myself the moment that you're gone
I scare myself and I let my thoughts run
And when they're running
I keep thinking of you
And when they're running
What can I do?
I scare myself, and I don't mean lightly
I scare myself, it can get frightening
I scare myself, to think what I could do
I scare myself -- it's some kind of voodoo
And with that voodoo
I keep thinking of you
And with that voodoo
What can I do?
But it's so so very different when we're together
And I'm so so so much calmer; I feel better
'Cause the stars already crossed our paths forever
And the sooner that you realise it the better
And then I'll be with you and I won't scare myself
And I'll know what to do and I won't scare myself
And my thoughts will run and I won't scare myself
And I'll think of you and I won't scare myself
It's me I'm scaring

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
