Once bitten, twice shy
She feels the difference
But inside she’s still too wounded
To trust him

She feels safe in his arms
But once she looks away she remembers
Her trust should not be easily given

She’s just not innocent enough
She’s just not sure of herself
She’s just simply twice shy

Once wounded, too scared
He makes her feel alive again
But inside her hearts still too cold
To let him in

She relaxes when he’s around
But once he leaves she is reminded
Pain just comes too easily

She’s just not innocent enough
She’s just not sure of herself
She’s just simply twice shy

Once she trusted...a time she can’t quite recall
She sees a different light in his eyes
But inside she’s still afraid
Afraid enough to deny

She feels at ease in his company
And though when he leaves she fears...she remembers his words
Talk of time, and love, and passion

She’s still got innocence left to give him
She’s regaining her pride in herself
She’s just simply

Shy
