All I Want

VERSE 1

I always thought I’d get it right—

fall in love, build a life.

But every time I feel it start,

I shut the door and hide my heart.

I want the touch, I want the trust,

a place to fall, a hand to hold.

But when someone reaches out,

I pull away before I’m told.

PRE-CHORUS

I don’t mean to run from love,

I just don’t know how to stay.

CHORUS

’Cause all I want is something real,

but I keep backing out when it gets too real.

I want a heart that doesn’t shake,

a love I don’t push away.

All I want is to feel enough,

to let somebody lift me up.

But I keep losing what I’m dreaming of—

’cause I’m scared to let you love.

VERSE 2

I’ve wasted years on trying hard

to look okay when I’m not.

I break the things I care about

before they get a chance to stop.

I’m tired of holding distance close,

tired of being on my own.

I want to let somebody in,

but fear keeps dragging me back home.

PRE-CHORUS

I don’t mean to run from love,

I just don’t know how to stay.

CHORUS

’Cause all I want is something real,

but I keep backing out when it gets too real.

I want a heart that doesn’t shake,

a love I don’t push away.

All I want is to feel enough,

to let somebody lift me up.

But I keep losing what I’m dreaming of—

’cause I’m scared to let you love.

BRIDGE

I want to stay, I want to try,

but every step feels like goodbye.

I want a life I don’t outrun—

a place where I don’t turn and run.

FINAL CHORUS

All I want is something real,

someone I don’t have to fear.

I want a heart that doesn’t shake,

a love I don’t push away.

All I want is to feel enough,

to let somebody lift me up.

But every time I get close to love—

I’m the one that messes us up.
