Verse 1
Spent my whole life holding back
Watching love from the safest track
I reach out, but I never commit
The second it’s real, I flinch and quit
Same routine, same retreat
Just me and the sound of my heartbeat
Chorus
I want to love you, but I can’t break through
This untrustful pattern’s pulling me from you
It wraps around every time I begin
Convince my heart to let you in
Verse 2
Say something real, don’t fill the space
I need more than a pretty face
I want to want this, to try
But my heart’s wired to say goodbye
This place we built, it could be true
But I don’t know how to give that to you
Chorus
I want to love you, but I can’t break through
This untrustful pattern’s pulling me from you
It wraps around every time I begin
Convince my heart to let you in
Verse 3
Before I wreck what you still believe
Tell me it’s okay if I need to grieve
I’m not broken, but I’m not clean
Just caught in the space between
This story ends the way it begins
With me unsure and caving in
Bridge
It’s always been this way
I step forward, then run away
But maybe this time, if you stay near
I can find a way out of here
Final Chorus
I want to love you, but I can’t break through
This untrustful pattern’s pulling me from you
It wraps around every time I begin
Convince my heart to let you in
Outro
So speak slow, don’t push too fast
I’m still haunted by my past
But if you mean it, if you stay
Maybe this time, I won’t walk away
