[Verse 1]
You say you care about me,
So why am I still scared?
Why do I keep expecting
To find disappointment there?
You tell me that I'm important,
That you want me in your life.
But every time I start believing,
Something tells me that's a lie.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you're trying,
I know it's true.
But my fears keep speaking
Louder than you.
---
[Chorus]
Love me, love me not,
I'm caught in the middle.
Every reassurance
Only solves it for a little.
Love me, love me not,
I keep asking in my mind.
Searching for certainty
That I'm afraid I'll never find.
Oh-oh...
Tell me I'll be alright.
---
[Instrumental Break Soft piano melody with gentle strings.]
---
[Verse 2]
You don't see the second guessing,
The conversations in my head.
How one unanswered message
Turns into a threat instead.
You could tell me twenty times
That you're never walking out.
And somehow I'd still wonder
What happens when you change your mind.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
You give me reasons to trust,
But I keep collecting doubts.
---
[Chorus]
Love me, love me not,
I'm caught in the middle.
Every reassurance
Only solves it for a little.
Love me, love me not,
I keep asking in my mind.
Searching for certainty
That I'm afraid I'll never find.
Oh-oh...
Tell me I'll be alright.
---
[Instrumental Break Piano and strings swell with an emotional melody.]
---
[Bridge]
Maybe I'm still carrying
The people who let me down.
Maybe every broken promise
Still follows me around.
Maybe you're not the problem,
Maybe you've never been.
Maybe the hardest thing to fight
Is the voice beneath my skin.
(Ooh...)
---
[Build-Up]
Hold on...
Don't go.
Stay where I can see you
Oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh-oh...
Ohhh-ohhh...
---
[Final Chorus]
Woahhh ohhh
Love me, love me not,
I wish I knew the answer.
Why does love feel beautiful
And terrifying after?
Love me, love me not,
I don't know what to trust.
You keep reaching out for me,
But I'm still hiding from us.
Oh-oh...
Love me, love me not.
---
[Outro]
Maybe one day
I'll stop asking.
Maybe one day
I'll finally believe
That you stayed.

[Outro Instrumental Solo piano fading into soft strings.]
