Fear Of Rejection Lyrics

"FEAR OF REJECTION"
Words and music (c) 1998, Richard D. Diakun

I've never been one with the lines,
never been overly "smooth".
But I know what I'm feeling inside,
it's got everything to do with you.
Ever since I first met you,
I feel like I've been walking on air.
But somehow when I'm with you,
I can't come out with those words...
If I said "I love you"
Would you say you love me, too?

This fear of rejection brings me to my knees
Deep inside I wanna hide
Just in case you don't pick me.
Fear of rejection is drivin' me insane
What the heck, stick out your neck
We're goin' down in flames!
If only you would give a sign,
I'd know if have got a chance.
If only you could read my mind,
Help me out and ask me to dance.
Maybe I'll just flash a smile,
and hope that you might smile back, too.
It might help sum up the courage
to put my heart out on the line for you.
If I said "I love you"
Would you say you love me, too?

This fear of rejection brings me to my knees
Deep inside I wanna hide
Just in case you don't pick me.
Fear of rejection is drivin' me insane
What the heck, stick out your neck
We're goin' down in flames!
This fear of rejection brings me to my knees
Deep inside I wanna hide Just in case you don't pick me.
Fear of rejection is drivin' me insane
What the heck, stick out your neck
We're goin' down in flames!

If I said "I love you"
Would you say you love me, too?

This fear of rejection brings me to my knees
Deep inside I wanna hide
Just in case you don't pick me.
Fear of rejection is drivin' me insane
What the heck, stick out your neck
We're goin' down in flames!
Subtlely, I make a point
to spend all the time with you I can.
Over time you might get the hint
and maybe take a hold of my hand.

And one day you might say to me,
that you've been scared to say it, too.
Maybe it will come to be, because
it's gotta come together before it finally comes apart.

If I said "I love you"
Would you say you love me, too?

This fear of rejection brings me to my knees
Deep inside I wanna hide
Just in case you don't pick me.
Fear of rejection is drivin' me insane
What the heck, stick out your neck
We're goin' down in flames!
This fear of rejection brings me to my knees
Deep inside I wanna hide
Just in case you don't pick me.
Fear of rejection is drivin' me insane
What the heck, stick out your neck
We're goin' down in flames!
