Are You Sure?

"Are You Sure?" by Bethany Dillon

I've written you a lot of songs
The kind you write on rainy days
Unrequited love
But now I'm humming a different tune
Just twelve hours ago
I was sitting on a bench with you

I've never heard of something that sweet
But are you sure you want me?

I tried to say, I want this to work
And yet take off the weight
If you change your mind, I won't hurt forever
Because I don't know what else to do
But I'd do anything to have three more hours on a bench with you

I've never heard of something that sweet
But are you sure you want me?

Everything within me doesn't want to risk
Doesn't want to risk anymore
But if it means I get to see the light in your eyes
I'll risk so much more

I've never heard of something that sweet
But are you sure you want me?

I won't be full of second guesses
So now I'll just sit and think about how sweet it is...

These lyrics just hit me. I couldn't have written it better.

I think the trouble with intertwining your trust with someone else is that, we don't want to run the risk of being hurt again.

Been there, done that.

And I question.

I wonder if I'm good enough.

Are you sure you want me?

I was scared that I would just be rejected. again.

Is that what happened?

By trying to protect my heart, I reverted into someone I wasn't.

There is so much else I want to say...

What if I don't say enough?

But what if it would change your mind?

I guess I'd like some peace of mind.

How do you know what's right?

I don't know anymore.

Do I ever cross your mind?

Do you even care?

God, help me.

Maybe you are the kind that doesn't want to say it; I should just let you be. But maybe if I spoke up that would be enough to give my mind some peace...
