Not Afraid To Fall In Love
Written by: Doug Moreland

He sits there looking in the mirror
so he doesn’t have to drink alone
the Crown in his hand he’s the king with no queen
in a recently broken home
he thinks drinkin’ will ease the pain
but there’s some memories whisky won’t heal
in his current state of mind he doesn’t like himself much
he’s in love with her still

                He’s not afraid to fall in love
                in fact lookin’ back he thinks it’s kind of fun
                but every time that that love leaves
                he’s the one that grieves
                and every time it falls apart
                he ends up with a broken heart
                he’s not afraid of the fall
                it’s the sudden stop at the end that’s all

He gets up and stumbles to the bed
a place where he used to lay his head
right by hers every night
tries to recall the last word she said
oh yeah goodbye
but it echoes through his mind and off the wall
but give him a few weeks he’ll be alright
life goes on after all

                He’s not afraid to fall in love
                in fact lookin’ back he thinks it’s kind of fun
                but every time that that love leaves
                he’s the one that grieves
                and every time it falls apart
                he ends up with a broken heart
                he’s not afraid of the fall
                it’s the sudden stop at the end that’s all

He sits there looking in the mirror
so he doesn’t have to drink alone
and in the looking glass the image you’ll see
why it’s the reflection of me
