(Verse 1)
Yeah, I ain’t good at the soft stuff,
Love feels like a tightrope, no net, just tough luck.
Heart got bruises from people I trusted,
Now you knockin’ on the door, sayin’ “love me or nothin’.”
What’s that even mean though?
How can I open up when every open wound bleeds slow?
Yeah, I got pain I don’t show,
Smile in the daylight, but night knows my lows.
You say you’re different, but that’s what they all said,
Then they dipped when the storm came and left me in my head.
Got these walls built like prisons,
Every brick a memory, every scar’s a decision.
Still, you see me when I’m silent and cold,
Like you ain’t scared of the mess, like you already know.
You say love ain’t about perfect, it’s about stayin’ through the cracks,
I ain’t used to that… Nah, I ain’t used to that.
(Hook)
Tear down these walls I built from fear,
Every time I push, you pull me near.
Said you love me raw, not just my shine,
If you’re real, then I’ll give you time.
Don’t promise forever, just show me now,
If love’s a war, then let’s lay our weapons down.
Yeah, let’s lay our weapons down…
(Verse 2)
I’m scared to lose what I barely got,
So I sabotage peace before it even starts.
Call it trauma, call it truth,
But it’s hard to trust light when the dark raised you.
But you’re still here, even when I’m distant,
You hold space for my pain like you’re built different.
I ain’t used to safe, used to run,
But you steady in the chaos, never once tried to shun.
So maybe this is love—messy and flawed,
Not a fairytale script, but a truth that’s raw.
If you’re patient, I might just let go,
Let the walls crumble slow, let the real me show.
(Hook)
Tear down these walls I built from fear,
Every time I push, you pull me near.
Said you love me raw, not just my shine,
If you’re real, then I’ll give you time.
Don’t promise forever, just show me now,
If love’s a war, then let’s lay our weapons down.
Yeah, let’s lay our weapons down…
