I Scare Myself Lyrics

I scare myself
Just thinking about you
I scare myself
When I’m without you
I scare myself
The moment that you’re gone
I scare myself
When I let my thoughts run

And when they’re running
I keep thinking of you
When they’re running
What can I do?

I scare myself
And I don’t mean lightly
I scare myself
It can get frightening
I scare myself
To think what I could do
I scare myself
You’re some kind of voodoo

And with that voodoo
I keep thinking of you
And With that voodoo
What can I do?

And with that voodoo
I keep thinking of you
And with that voodoo
What can I do?

But it’s oh so so so different when we’re together
And I’m so so so much calmer I feel better
'Cuz the stars already crossed our paths forever
And the sooner that we realize it the better

And then I’ll be with you and I won’t scare myself
I’ll know what to do and I won’t scare myself
And my thoughts will run and I won’t scare myself
And I’ll think of you and I won’t scare myself...

(It's me, I'm scared) x 8

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

In my view, this is an ultimate love song - as the "me" person needs his loved one to escape from his demons. Now that is a familiar and/or sensible angle to perceive happiness from, or is it not?

@rein111229 I think most people would say it’s not, but I believe it is.

I used to play this tape on an infinite loop along with head games by foreigner I remember laying on the carpet between the speakers.
