Dare To Love Me - Avril Lavigne

If you dare to love, if you dare to love me

If you dare to love, if you dare to love me

I try to let down my guard, but I cover up my scars

Yeah, there's no denyin'

It's not that I don't care, it's just I'm fuckin' scared

It's terrifyin'

'Cause I know it's a slippery slope

But I don't wanna give up hope

Damn, why's it gotta be this hard just to open up my heart?

So don't tell me that you love me if you don't mean it

Don't say another damn word if you don't believe it

Only tell me if you care, tell me if you care, tell me if you care

About me

Only tell me if you dare, tell me if you dare, tell me if you dare

If you dare to love me

If you dare to love me

I've been goin' way too hard for way too long

But I'll keep on tryin'

I've been wishin' on them stars, but are they too far?

Yeah, are they still shinin'?

I know it's a slippery slope (Slope)

But I don't wanna give up hope

Damn, why's it gotta be this hard just to open up my heart?

So don't tell me that you love me if you don't mean it

(If you don't mean it)

Don't say another damn word if you don't believe it

(If you don't believe it)

Only tell me if you care, tell me if you care, tell me if you care

About me

Only tell me if you dare, tell me if you dare, tell me if you dare

If you dare to love me

If you dare to love me

Will you love me?

Through the good and the bad

Would you understand?

Stay hand in hand

Would you love me?

Through the darkest of nights

Through our first fight

Stay by my side

Would you love me?

Would you still love me?

So don't tell me that you love me if you don't mean it

(If you don't mean it)

And, no, don't say another damn word if you don't believe it

(If you don't believe it, yeah)

Only tell me if you care, tell me if you care, tell me if you care

About me (Yeah)

Only tell me if you dare, tell me if you dare, tell me if you dare

If you dare to love me

(Through the good and the bad, would you understand?)

If you dare to love me

(Through the darkest of nights, through our first fight)

Oh, if you dare to love, if you dare to love me

If you dare to love, if you dare to love me
