Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Used to laugh at all the wrong times
Shoes untied
But my heart was wide
I believed every promise like a sunrise
Never checked who was standing by my side
Now I read between every line break
Second-guess every hand that reaches out
I keep waiting for the small print and the catch
For the slammed door
For the doubt
[Chorus]
I don't trust like I used to
Don't love like I planned
Every cut turned these open arms
Into folded hands
I'm a little more guarded
Every time I fall apart
But I'm walking back
Step by step
To the boy with the open heart
[Verse 2]
All these faces in the photos on my hard drive
People I swore I'd die to protect
We don't talk
But I still know all their birthdays
Funny what your memory elects
I miss the me who never asked for proof
Who believed that a promise could stay
Now I’m circling the block of every feeling
Afraid of what I might say
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Some mornings I catch him
In the mirror
In the light
That kid who wasn't tired yet
Who thought every wrong could right
So I'll hold the door a second longer
Call my mother
Take the call
Trust a stranger with a small thing
Let myself risk a fall
[Chorus]
