Verse 1:
I see the way you smile at me,
But there's a shadow, lurking just beneath.
I want to give you all I can,
But my heart's been bruised, and I’m scared to take your hand.
Chorus:
Oh, I’m scared to be vulnerable,
What if you turn away like they did before?
Just when I think you’re here to stay,
I feel the doubt creeping in, pushing you away.
Verse 2:
Late nights and whispered dreams,
The way you fit, it's all too good to be.
But I hide the scars of yesterday,
Afraid you’ll see them and then walk away.
Chorus:
Oh, I’m scared to be vulnerable,
What if you turn away like they did before?
Just when I think you’re here to stay,
I feel the doubt creeping in, pushing you away.
Bridge:
I don’t wanna close my heart,
But the worry keeps tearing me apart.
You’re breaking the walls I built so high,
But what if you’re the reason I cry?
Chorus:
Oh, I’m scared to be vulnerable,
What if you turn away like they did before?
Just when I think you’re here to stay,
I feel the doubt creeping in, pushing you away.
Outro:
So I’ll hold back, try to build a cage,
Afraid to let the past make you disengage.
But if you promise to be mine, to never let go,
Maybe I’ll take the chance, let my true colors show.
