to me, fearless is not the absence of fear. it's not being completely afraid. to me, fearless is having fears, 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 is getting up and fighting for what you want over and over again, even though everytime you've tried before, you've lost. it's fearless to have faith that someday things will change. fearless is having the 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 apologized 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. 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 charming and happily ever after... that's why i write these songs, because i think love is fearless.
