[Intro]
Yeah…
Some days I wanna let you in,
Some days I don’t.
It’s not you that I’m afraid of…
It’s what happens if I’m wrong.
[Hook]
I ain’t scared of being alone,
I’ve been carrying that too long.
It’s not you that I’m afraid of,
It’s what happens if I’m wrong.
Everybody says forever,
Till forever comes and goes.
Now I’m standing at the doorway,
Trying not to close the door.
I got a heart that’s all in,
Maybe that’s my biggest flaw.
‘Cause when I love somebody,
I don’t know how not to fall.
[Verse 1]
I learned how to read people,
Before I learned how to trust.
Everybody got intentions,
But not everybody’s upfront.
Got memories I still carry,
Like they tattooed on my skin.
Every time I start believing,
The doubt starts creeping in.
You say you different,
And maybe you are.
But I’ve heard that same line
From people who left scars.
I know I got walls,
I know I got fears.
But you don’t build a fortress
Without surviving some years.
[Pre-Hook]
And I hate that I question
The things that I want.
‘Cause a part of me’s healing,
And a part of me’s not.
[Hook]
I ain’t scared of being alone,
I’ve been carrying that too long.
It’s not you that I’m afraid of,
It’s what happens if I’m wrong.
Everybody says forever,
Till forever comes and goes.
Now I’m standing at the doorway,
Trying not to close the door.
I got a heart that’s all in,
Maybe that’s my biggest flaw.
‘Cause when I love somebody,
I don’t know how not to fall.
[Verse 2]
Maybe I’m tired of protecting
Every piece of my soul.
Maybe being this guarded
Got its own kind of toll.
‘Cause I see the way you look at me,
Like you’re trying to understand.
Not just who I am today,
But who I’ve always been.
And that’s rare.
You don’t know how rare that is.
Most people only love
The parts that make sense.
You stay for the silence,
You stay through the mess.
And I don’t know if that’s enough
To make me believe.
But for the first time in a while,
I kinda want to see.
[Bridge]
If I let you in,
Don’t promise me forever.
Just be real right now.
If I take your hand,
Don’t swear you’ll never leave.
Just don’t let me down.
And if this all falls apart,
At least I know I tried.
’Cause living behind these walls
Feels like saying no before life decides.
[Final Hook]
I ain’t scared of being alone,
I’ve been carrying that too long.
It’s not you that I’m afraid of,
It’s what happens if I’m wrong.
But maybe love ain’t perfect,
Maybe that’s the point.
Maybe healing starts the moment
You stop avoiding the choice.
I got a heart that’s all in,
Maybe that’s my greatest strength.
And if I love somebody,
I’ma love ’em all the way.
Yeah…
If I love somebody,
I’ma love ’em all the way.
[Outro]
It’s not you that I’m afraid of…
It’s what happens if I’m wrong.
But maybe…
I’m finally ready to try.
