Why So Afraid Tom?

Lyrics

You remind me of some people Who don't want their pictures taken 'Cause they're afraid you might take their soul Won't let anyone come near you You always keep a distance Don't show your feelings, only your presence, if at all I only want to know you, but if I come any closer You build up the walls that surround you Why go away, are you afraid I might get to know you Don't you have anyone that you trust Why so afraid, Tom, why go away, Tom Why so afraid, Tom, why go away, Tom I heard you had a love, Who went off with your best friend I know it wasn't too long ago Have you lost the trust you once had 'Cause your lover found another You hide the pain, 'cause you don't want it to show I oftеn see you standing at the far end of the bar With a smilе I have never understood When you go out, do you wonder If the friends you make and mix with Really like you for yourself, or what you do Why so afraid, Tom. Why go away, Tom Why so afraid, Tom. Why go away, Tom I hope you understand what I am trying to convey I only want to be your friend But this distance that you're keeping Doesn't make it very easy It's your life, so who am I to condemn Why so afraid, Tom, why go away, Tom Why so afraid, Tom, why go away, Tom
