Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I learned to smile on cue
Keep the good parts out of view
If they get too close, I flinch
Like my skin might split
I keep my secrets tucked
Like a note no one should touch
Every room feels too loud
So I shrink somehow
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause if you saw the cracks
You might step back
If you knew my name
You might feel the shame
I brace for the drop
Before it starts
I leave first
To save my heart
[Chorus]
I wear a locked-up face
(lock it up)
Don't let anyone stay
(stay away)
I think I'm hard to love
Too much, not enough
And if you knew me deep
You'd leave me in the dust
I keep my hands too far
Keep my chest in parts
I want to come close
But I don't know how
I want to come close
But I don't know how
[Verse 2]
I laugh so they won't ask
Why I turn away so fast
I build these little walls
Out of old bad calls
Every kind word lands
Like it's slipping through my hands
I hear the goodbye
Long before the goodnight
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause if you saw the cracks
You might step back
If you knew my name
You might feel the shame
I brace for the drop
Before it starts
I leave first
To save my heart
[Chorus]
I wear a locked-up face
(lock it up)
Don't let anyone stay
(stay away)
I think I'm hard to love
Too much, not enough
And if you knew me deep
You'd leave me in the dust
I keep my hands too far
Keep my chest in parts
I want to come close
But I don't know how
I want to come close
But I don't know how
[Bridge]
Maybe I'm not broken
Just scared to be seen
Maybe I was taught
To disappear quietly
If you stayed one more night
Would I let you in?
Or would I turn to stone
Before it begins?
[Final Chorus]
I wear a locked-up face
(lock it up)
Don't let anyone stay
(stay away)
I think I'm hard to love
Too much, not enough
And if you knew me deep
You'd leave me in the dust
I keep my hands too far
Keep my chest in parts
I want to come close
But I don't know how
I want to come close
But I don't know how
[Outro]
If I open the door
Would you still be there?
Would you still be there?
I want to come close
But I don't know how
