Scared Love - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Can you help? (mmhmm) I’m scared (mmm)

There’s a monster under my bed

He was born for my death

I know he’s got a good side, prob'ly in the day

We could talk about our differences and where else he could stay

I hear him, I hear him, that cold grim snore

I haven’t seen him yet, so I know he wants war

I love him, I wanna be his friend

But I don’t have time for us to settle up amends

So could you take him and replace him, something nicer like an elf?

A smiling, grinning, stoutish boy who looks just like myself?

I’m not afraid to love him; there’s just fear within my love

Scared love don’t make no love

Can you help? (mmhmm) I’m scared (mmm)

There’s a lion out in my street showing off his white teeth

I don’t know who the owner is, but warrant an arrest

For keeping me from getting out of bed and getting dressed

He’s stealthy and cunning, that’s why the only noise

You’ve heard is of laughter of the playing girls and boys

I love them, they’re children of my friends

Someone should intervene before they all get torn to shreds

So could somebody do something, someone, anyone but me?

It’s not my lion, not my children, and I need my sleep

I’m not afraid to love ‘em; there’s just fear within my love

Scared love don’t make no love

Can you help? (mmhmm) I’m scared (mmm)

There’s a skeleton in my room, I wish I could rewind to

The day I took his life from him and stashed him with my jackets

To tell myself that enemies quadruple when you stab ‘em

He’s coming for me, banging on the door frame

Can’t he just sleep so I could do the same?

I love you, I wanna share my life

But there’s just one place that you’ll never set your eyes

So can we just forget about it like I never said a thing?

I haven’t seen him in so long, it might’ve been a dream

Get your eyes away from here man, I just wanna love

I just wanna love, I just wanna love

I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna love
