**(Verse 1)**
Tell me, are you really what I think I see
Or is my mind just playing tricks on me
I’ve been trying just to find something real
Hoping for a love that can match how I feel
If I choose to stay, don’t let me down in the end
‘Cause it’s getting harder for this heart to mend
Every scar’s a story I don’t wanna repeat
But you’re standing here, and it’s pulling on me
---
**(Pre-Chorus)**
I’m caught between the fall and the fear
Want you close, but I’m not clear
---
**(Chorus)**
I wanna call you baby
Mhmm
But I can’t lie, I’m scared inside
What if you don’t want it
After I put my heart in it
Oh mhmm
I know when I give in
I start finding ways to break it again
So baby, can we take this slow
If I’m not good enough again
I just wanna take my time to know
Ohhh hmmm
---
**(Verse 2)**
You say the right things, look at me that way
Got me believing maybe this could stay
But I’ve been here before, yeah I know that road
Starts off light, then it gets too cold
I don’t wanna run, but I don’t wanna crash
Don’t wanna lose something we never had
If I let you in, will you hold that space
Or disappear without a trace
---
**(Pre-Chorus)**
I’m trying not to push you away
Even when I’m afraid
---
**(Chorus)**
I wanna call you baby
Mhmm
But I can’t lie, I’m scared inside
What if you don’t want it
After I put my heart in it
Oh mhmm
I know when I give in
I start finding ways to break it again
So baby, can we take this slow
If I’m not good enough again
I just wanna take my time to know
Ohhh hmmm
---
**(Bridge)**
Maybe love ain’t meant to be easy
Maybe it’s worth the risk of breaking
If you’re real, don’t let me lose you
Even when my past starts shaking
I don’t need perfect, I just need true
Someone who stays when I come unglued
So if you’re here, don’t let me go
Just give me time to let it show
---
**(Final Chorus / Outro)**
I wanna call you baby
Mhmm
But I still feel that fear inside
What if it all falls through
Right when I let you see my side
Oh mhmm
Every time I give in
I start bracing for the end again
So baby, can we take this slow
If I’m not good enough, just let it show
I just need time to let this grow
Ohhh hmmm
