"People Are Scary" lyrics

People are scary
I'd rather stay home
Than meet someone new
Let him take off my clothes
I know he seems nice, but
You never really know
They always look perfect
'Til you look too close

People are scary
The last one I loved
Made it two years
'Til his girlfriend showed up
Now I'm a cynic
Assuming the worst
Why let someone in
When it's just gonna hurt

Deep down I wanna love, wanna trust, want someone I could marry
And I wanna believe that naive part of me isn't buried
But people are scary
People are scary

People are scary
What if he says the right things
Then when I'm in the bathroom
Puts a pill in my drink
Or what if he's amazing
He's good and he's pure
Then one day he doesn't
Want me anymore

Deep down I wanna love, wanna trust, want someone I could marry
And I don't wanna believe happy endings are imaginary
But people are scary
People are scary

People are human
We're flawed and confusing
Messed up from the baggage we carry
No, people aren't perfect
How do I know it's worth it
To let 'em in even if it scares me
People are scary
People are scary

People are scary
I think the worst part
Is even the good ones
Can still break your heart
