[Intro] I don’t know how to do this… But I want to. [Verse] I’ve been living like a locked door, Smiling like I’m bulletproof. I got good at “I’m fine” forever, Good at hiding all the truth. I don’t talk about the nights I broke, Or how love can feel like war… So if I flinch when you get closer, It’s not you I’m running from. [Pre-Chorus] I want something real, But I’m scared it’ll disappear… So if you hear my heart shaking, Please don’t take it as fear of you. [Chorus] I’m trying… I’m trying to let you in, With these hands still shaking on my skin. I don’t need you to save me, Just don’t leave me where I’ve been. If you’re patient, I’ll learn your light, If you’re gentle, I’ll stay the night… I’m not hard to love, I just forgot What it feels like to be alright. [Drop] (chopped emotional phrases) “let you in…” “stay tonight…” “I’m trying…” [Bridge] I don’t want another almost, Another lesson dressed as fate. I want a love that feels like breathing, Not a countdown to a break. So if you touch my soul, don’t rush it, Let it bloom, let it bruise… I’m learning how to be chosen Without begging you to choose. [Final Chorus] I’m trying… I’m trying to let you in, With these hands still shaking on my skin. I don’t need you to save me, Just don’t leave me where I’ve been. If you’re patient, I’ll learn your light, If you’re gentle, I’ll stay the night… I’m not hard to love, I just forgot What it feels like to be alright. [Outro] So take this heart— Not perfect… Just honest.
