To
me, Fearless is not the absence of fear. It's
not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears.
Fearless is having doubts, lots of them. To me, Fearless is
living in spite of those things that scare you to
death. Fearless is falling madly in love
again, even though you've been hurt before. Fearless if walking
into your freshman year of high school at fifteen. Fearless is
getting up and fighting for what you want over and over
again... even though every time you've tried before, and you've
lost. It's Fearless to have faith that someday
things will change. Fearless is having courage
to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even
though you can't breathe without
them. I think it's Fearless to fall for your best friend
even though he's in love
with someone
else. And when someone apologizes to you
enough times for things they'll never stop doing, I think it's
Fearless to stop believing them. It's Fearless to say
"you're not sorry", and walk away. I
think loving someone despite what people think is
fearless. I think allowing yourself to cry on the
bathroom floor is Fearless. Letting go is Fearless. Then,
moving on and being alright... that's Fearless too.
But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in
it. You have to believe in love stories and Prince Charmings
and having a happily ever after. That's why I write these
songs. Because I think love is
fearless.
