Map to my heart

Verse 1 
You asked me once
“How can anyone be scared of love?”
You said it like it’s easy
Like hearts don’t break that much

I didn’t try to explain it
I just pulled you close
And gave you every part of me
Like I didn’t know

Verse 2
I told you things
I never told a soul before
Every fear, every weakness
Every door I kept locked

You saw the worst of me
And you said you would stay
I thought if you knew everything
You wouldn’t walk away

Pre-Chorus 
I trusted you with everything
I never thought you’d use it

Chorus 
I gave you the map to my heart
Every fragile part
Every place that I could break
You knew it from the start

And when you left, you didn’t miss
You hit me right where I live
So tell me honestly now…
Who wouldn’t be afraid of this?

Verse 3 
Now I’m lying here
Going over every word
Trying to find the moment
Where everything just turned

Was I too much for you?
Did I love you too deep?
Or were you learning all my wounds
Just to cut where it’s deep?

Pre-Chorus 2
You knew me better than I knew myself
And that’s what hurts the most

Chorus 
I gave you the map to my heart
Every vulnerable part
Every promise, every dream
You held there in the dark

And when you struck, it went straight through my soul
Like breaking something you already own
So tell me honestly now…
Who wouldn’t be scared to let go?

Bridge 
The worst part is…
I’d still do it again

If loving you meant one more moment
Before the end

Final Chorus 
I gave you the map to my heart
I let you tear it apart
Now every time I let someone close
I’m scared of where to start

If loving someone means giving them the knife
And praying they choose your life…


How is anyone not afraid of love?
