VERSE 1
You keep sayin’ you’re too much, darlin’,
Like your heart’s a wildfire burnin’ through the pines.
You talk like love is somethin’ you ruin,
Like you’re always runnin’ out of borrowed time.
But I’ve watched you hold yourself together
When the world tried to tear you apart at the seams.
And even when you think you’re hidin’ the hurt,
I see it clearer than you think I see.
VERSE 1B (extended)
You’ve got that look — the one that says you’re bracin’
For the day I’ll finally get tired and leave.
But I’ve walked through my own kind of darkness,
And yours don’t scare a single part of me.
You’re not a burden, you’re a battle I’d choose,
A storm I’d stand in just to feel you breathe.
PRE‑CHORUS
And I know that feelin’,
’Cause I’ve run from good things all my life.
But the night you showed up, somethin’ shifted —
For once, I didn’t feel the need to hide.
CHORUS
I ain’t afraid of your shadows,
Ain’t scared of the storms you’ve walked through.
You don’t have to earn my love,
I already chose you.
We’re two self‑sabotagin’ hearts
Who met at the perfect time.
And I ain’t afraid of your damage,
Baby, don’t be afraid of mine.
VERSE 2
You keep waitin’ for the day I’ll see your cracks
And decide you’re too much trouble to keep.
But girl, your scars read like scripture —
Proof you survived what tried to make you weak.
And I know you’ve loved people who left you empty,
People who made you doubt your worth.
But I’m not them — I’m standin’ steady,
And I’ll prove it every day on this earth.
VERSE 2B (extended)
I’ve been the king of pullin’ back,
Of leavin’ before I get left behind.
But with you, I don’t feel like runnin’ —
You quiet the chaos in my mind.
You’re the first thing I’ve ever wanted
Without fear of what it costs to try.
You make me believe in somethin’ better
Than the man I’ve been most of my life.
CHORUS
I ain’t afraid of your shadows,
Ain’t scared of the storms you’ve walked through.
You don’t have to earn my love,
I already chose you.
We’re two self‑sabotagin’ hearts
Who met at the perfect time.
And I ain’t afraid of your damage,
Baby, don’t be afraid of mine.
BRIDGE
Maybe we’re messy, maybe we’re flawed,
But maybe that’s what makes this real.
You don’t have to hide the hurt you carry —
I’ll hold whatever you feel.
If you’re fallin’, I’m fallin’ with you,
Right into somethin’ honest and true.
You don’t scare me, darlin’ —
Hell, you’re the first thing I’ve ever wanted to run to.
FINAL CHORUS
I ain’t afraid of your shadows,
Ain’t scared of the storms you’ve walked through.
You don’t have to earn my love,
I already chose you.
We’re two self‑sabotagin’ hearts
Who finally got the timing right.
And I ain’t afraid of your darkness —
Girl, you’re the light in mine.
OUTRO
Yeah, I ain’t afraid of you, darlin’.
And you don’t have to be afraid of me.
We’re broken, sure —
But we’re right where we’re meant to be.
