I wear a grin to the fight

Then I flinch from a kiss

I say I’m fine in the light

Then I break in the dark

You hold me close, while I’m pulling away

Still I’m asking you to stay

I know, I know I’m hard to read

One step in

Then I leave

I burn hot but I freeze you out

Just as fast

Tell me why I am built like that

I reach for you

Then I backtrack

I’m a walking contradiction

I want you close, then I need distance

I’m a walking contradiction

I say “go,” only to miss you

I miss you

I make a promise with shaking hands

Then I watch it slip

I want the truth, but I change my mind

When it gets too real

You can see it in the way I move

Like I’m half gone, half here

I hate the gap that I keep making

Between my heart and yours

Between my heart and yours

I burn hot but I freeze you out

Just as fast

Tell me why I am built like that

I reach for you

Then I backtrack

I’m a walking contradiction

I want you close, then I need distance

I’m a walking contradiction

I say “go,” only to miss you

I miss you

Don’t call it love if I can’t hold it

Don’t call me brave if I keep folding

I’m scared of the part where you see me

And stay

And stay

I’m a walking contradiction

I want you close, then I need distance

I’m a walking contradiction

I say “go,” only to miss you

I miss you
