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.
