The fear of the unknown and the vulnerability that comes with opening up to love can be overwhelming, making it hard to be brave enough to take the leap. “How to be brave? How can I love when I’m afraid to fall?” signifies the internal struggle and dilemma of someone who is afraid of getting hurt in love. The heart beating fast signifies the physical manifestation of the rush of emotions, while colors and promises indicate the heightened sense of joy and anticipation of the future with the person they love. “Heart beats fast, colors and promises” implies the excitement and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with falling in love. The verse represents the emotional conflict and hesitations of someone who is falling in love but is afraid to take the leap.

These lines are from the song “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri. All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
