All I’m Asking

You say you're fine, but I see through

The walls you built, the shades of blue

I reach for you, but you pull back

Like love's a code you can't unpack

You smile, but it don’t reach your eyes

I know there's thunder behind the skies

So many left you in the dark

But I'm not them, I see your spark

You don't have to run, don’t have to hide

I’ll meet you on the other side

Of fear, of doubt, of every scar

You’re more than everything you’ve lost so far

So if you're gonna love me,

Love me open with care

I’m not here to hurt you,

I’m already laid bare

I just wanna hold you

When the world’s unfair

If you're gonna love me,

Love me open with care

You say it's hard to just believe

But darling, I won't make you bleed

I won't rewrite your past with lies

I'm just here to stand by your side

I know you’ve danced with broken hearts

But I don’t want just fragile parts

Give me your silence, give me your storm

Let me be shelter, let me be warm

You don’t have to fake, don’t need a mask

I’m not afraid of what you ask

To stay, to try, to not let go

Even when it’s hard to show

So if you're gonna love me,

Love me open with care

I’m not here to hurt you,

I’m already laid bare

I just wanna hold you

When the world’s unfair

If you're gonna love me,

Love me open with care

I won’t break what others dropped

Won’t push when you say stop

I'll learn your love, slow and true

'Cause you're worth the wait, and all you do

If you're gonna love me,

Love me open with care

I’m not here to fix you,

I just wanna be there

I just wanna know you

When no one's aware

If you're gonna love me,

Love me open with care
