[verse]
You touch me gently
And somehow that’s the worst
‘Cause love don’t always hit like lightning
Sometimes it’s thirst
And I’m scared of how fast
I start handing pieces over
Like I was built to become
Somebody else’s closure
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna lose my voice
Trying to keep the peace
Don’t wanna trade my wild again
For someone else’s needs
I know how this story goes
I know these trembling gears
One kiss, two months, and suddenly
I disappear
[verse]
You say, “Baby, rest”
And my instinct is to serve
Funny how survival habits
Still dress up like love at first
So if I pull away sometimes
It’s not you I fear
It’s the familiar ways
I vanish when someone gets too near
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna lose my voice
Trying to keep the peace
Don’t wanna trade my fire again
For temporary heat
I want love that lets me stay
Whole while you stand near
Not another seven years
Of learning to disappear.
