Scared to love again

I used to believe in forever…

Now forever sound like a lie

You don’t know what that do to somebody…

Yeah…

⸻

I’m scared to love again, I been through too much pain

Every time I let ‘em in, they leave me in the rain

Got my guard up high, can’t let nobody in

Say you different, but they all just play pretend

I’m scared to love again, heart covered in scars

Every scar remind me I done paid that price

You say ride or die, but I heard that before

Now I’m fighting my feelings, can’t open that door

⸻

Late nights, thinking ‘bout the things you said

Now it’s silence where you used to lay your head

Gave you real love, you gave me lies instead

Now I see red flags every step I tread

I was all in, you was halfway there

I was fighting for us, you ain’t even care

Now I’m cold-hearted, yeah it ain’t fair

But I learned my lesson, I’m aware

⸻

Every promise sound the same now

Every “I love you” just a game now

Tryna heal but I don’t know how

You broke me down, I don’t trust now

⸻

I’m scared to love again, I been through too much pain

Every time I let ‘em in, they leave me in the rain

Got my guard up high, can’t let nobody in

Say you different, but they all just play pretend

I’m scared to love again, heart covered in scars

Every scar remind me I done paid that price

You say ride or die, but I heard that before

Now I’m fighting my feelings, can’t open that door

⸻

I see your love, yeah it feel so real

But my past got me questioning how to feel

You ain’t them, but I’m stuck in defense

Every move you make got me tense

I don’t wanna hurt you, that’s the truth

But I’m battling scars from my youth

Tryna trust, but it’s hard to do

When betrayal all I ever knew

⸻

Maybe one day I’ll let you in

Maybe one day I’ll trust again

But right now I’m just healing slow

Tryna find a heart I used to know

⸻

I’m scared to love again, I been through too much pain

Every time I let ‘em in, they leave me in the rain

Got my guard up high, can’t let nobody in

But deep inside, I still hope it wins…
