[Verse 1]
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 every time I tried to love you, I just fell through)
Too

[Verse 2]
Desculpa-me se te ofendi
Desculpa-me se te esqueci
Desculpa-me se eu te deixei
Eu te deixei
E desculpa-me por me sentir bem com tua dor
Sabes que te adoro mais sei que tu estrela é maior do que minha
Do que minha
E é por isso

[Chorus]
Eu tenho medo deste amor (os dias passo pensando em ti) amor
Medo deste amor (Salve-me porque agora estou caindo) Amor

[Outro]
Scared of you I was
Scared of you I was
Scared of you
Scared of you
Scared of you

Nelly Furtado

Nelly Kim Furtado (born December 2, 1978) is a Portuguese-Canadian singer and songwriter. The songstress is well-known for hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “Promiscuous”.

She began her career in 1996 contributing vocals to Plains of Fascination’s “Walkin' 4 The Streets” and forming Nelstar. After leaving the group, Furtado released her debut single “Party’s Just Begun (Again)”.

Her debut album Whoa! Nelly was released in 2000 to worldwide success with hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “…On the Radio (Remember the Days)”. It received four Grammy nominations and one of the singles won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It’s sold nine-million copies worldwide to date. Folklore is Furtado’s second album released in 2003. The album was not as successful as the previous one due to change in sound. “Try” and “Powerless (Say What You Want)” were the only top-ten hits from the album.
