Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I keep a list of exits in my head
Lose my keys, lose the thread
Every little silence turns into a sign
That you’ll get tired and leave this time
I learned to sleep with one eye open
Count the ways a promise can be broken
My body feels like a room I can’t defend
Still I want somebody close enough to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not easy, I know
I can disappear inside a thought
But if you move slowly
Maybe I can show you what I’ve got
[Chorus]
I’m scared you’ll hurt me, scared you’ll go
Scared I’ll need you more than I can show
But I don’t want a perfect kind of love
I want the kind that doesn’t give up
When my mind runs fast and my heart locks tight
When old wounds wake up in the middle of the night
I’m still here, I’m still trying
With both hands shaking, I’m still choosing you
[Verse 2]
Some days my reflection starts a fight
I change three outfits, miss the night
I carry every goodbye beneath my skin
And call it proof you won’t let me in
I’ve made a home from almost leaving
Turned every feeling into something I’m screening
But you asked me what I need, and I said, “Time”
Then stayed long enough to hear myself reply
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not easy, I know
There are doors I haven’t learned to unlock
But if you move slowly
Maybe trust can be a place we walk
[Chorus]
I’m scared you’ll hurt me, scared you’ll go
Scared I’ll need you more than I can show
But I don’t want a perfect kind of love
I want the kind that doesn’t give up
When my mind runs fast and my heart locks tight
When old wounds wake up in the middle of the night
I’m still here, I’m still trying
With both hands shaking, I’m still choosing you
[Bridge]
Don’t promise me forever like a dare
Just tell me you’ll be honest when it’s hard
I’ll tell you when I’m spiraling somewhere
You can hold my hand without fixing every scar
Maybe healing isn’t feeling safe all day
Maybe it’s letting someone see you afraid
And not turning around
Not turning around
[Final Chorus]
I’m scared you’ll hurt me, scared you’ll go
Still, I’m learning love is not control
I don’t need a perfect kind of love
Just something real enough to call my bluff
When my mind runs fast and my heart locks tight
When old wounds wake up in the middle of the night
I’m still here, I’m still trying
With both hands shaking, I’m still choosing life
I’m still here, I’m still trying
If you are patient, I can learn to let you in
[Outro]
I can learn to let you in
Not all at once
But I can begin

Intimate alternative pop ballad with a restrained verse built from muted electric piano, soft fingerpicked guitar, and close-miked vulnerable female vocals. Add a pulsing low bass and sparse brushed percussion in the pre-chorus, then open into a wide, emotionally lifting chorus with live drums, warm synth pads, layered harmonies, and ringing electric guitar. Bridge should strip back to piano and voice before a final chorus blooms with stacked vocals. Organic, modern mix with audible breath, gentle saturation, controlled dynamics, and no glossy overproduction.
