Scared Of You Lyrics
Nelly Furtado
Scared Of You
Whoa, Nelly!
I'm sorry I forsake you
I'm sorry that I left you
I'm sorry I did forget you
And I'm sorry that I made myself feel better
By making you feel never good enough
I know you'll shine much brighter than I ever could
Maybe that is why I was
Chorus:
Scared of you (and in everything I do I'm still thinking of you) oh, you
And I know you were scared of me (but everytime I tried to love you I just
fell through) too
Desculpa-me se te-ofendi
Desculpa-me se te-esqueci
Desculpa me se-eu te-deixei
Eu te-deixei
E desculpa-me por mi sintir bem com tua dor
Sabes que te-adore mais sei que tu estrela a maior do que minha,
do que minha
E por isso
Chorus:
Eu tenho medo deste amor (os dias passo pensando en ti) amor
Medo deste amor (Salve-me porque agora estou caindo) amor
Scared of you I was
Scared of you I was
Scared of you
Scared of you
Scared of you
Scared Of You
Whoa, Nelly!
I'm sorry that I left you
I'm sorry I did forget you
And I'm sorry that I made myself feel better
By making you feel never good enough
I know you'll shine much brighter than I ever could
Maybe that is why I was
Scared of you (and in everything I do I'm still thinking of you) oh, you
And I know you were scared of me (but everytime I tried to love you I just
fell through) too
Desculpa-me se te-esqueci
Desculpa me se-eu te-deixei
Eu te-deixei
E desculpa-me por mi sintir bem com tua dor
Sabes que te-adore mais sei que tu estrela a maior do que minha,
do que minha
E por isso
Eu tenho medo deste amor (os dias passo pensando en ti) amor
Medo deste amor (Salve-me porque agora estou caindo) amor
Scared of you I was
Scared of you
Scared of you
Scared of you

when you break up with someone, and you know it's the right decision, but you still want them
This song makes me think of my estranged Portuguese father, particularly the part where she says, "And I'm sorry for making myself feel better by making you feel never good enough".
I think this song is about being with someone and having insecurity in yourself that you're not good enough for them, so in turn it corrupts you and gives you this attitude that the only ways to make yourself feel better is to beat down on them and essentially separate from them.
The moral of the story: there shouldn't be competition in love, but we do it anyway, as regretful as it is!
