[Intro]
I don’t mean to…
I just don’t trust like that anymore
[Verse 1]
you get a little closer, I shift away
not enough to leave, just enough to stay safe
I keep it calm, I keep it light
like something I won’t let get too tight
you say my name like it means more
that’s when I start closing the door
not ‘cause I don’t feel it too
I just don’t trust what it could do
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve seen how fast things change
I don’t fall the same
[Chorus]
I push away before you can
not part of a plan, just how I am
you get too close, I lose control
and I don’t trust where that could go
trust… I don’t give it free
it’s not the same for me
I feel it there, I feel it start
that’s when I guard my heart
[Verse 2]
I read the gaps in everything
every shift, every little thing
even when there’s nothing wrong
my mind’s already moved along
I don’t ask what I don’t want
truth shows up in ways you don’t
I stay quiet, I let it be
if it’s real, it’ll show to me
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not cold, I just remember
how it felt to trust forever
[Chorus]
I push away before you can
not trying to hurt, just where I stand
you stay the same, I still step back
I don’t trust it when it starts like that
trust… it’s quiet, it’s rare
it’s who you are when I’m not there
I don’t chase, I don’t assume
I just watch what you actually do
[Bridge]
I used to believe what I was told
now I believe what unfolds
no more falling just because
I’ve learned what “almost” was
[ Chorus]
I push away… yeah, I do
even when it feels like truth
I don’t mean to break the start
I just don’t trust my own heart
trust… I don’t say the word
it’s in actions, not what I’ve heard
if you’re real, you won’t have to prove
I’ll stop pushing… if you don’t move
[Outro]
I don’t run…
I just don’t trust enough to stay
