Verse 1 You say, “I’m here,” like it’s easy to believe, But promises have always packed their bags to leave. I smile and nod, pretend I’m doing fine, While every little silence turns into a warning sign. You reach for my hand, I almost hold on, But every time I do, my courage is gone. It’s not that I think you’d wanna break my heart, I’m just afraid that’s how these stories start. Pre-Chorus You didn’t build these walls… But now you’re standing in front of them. Chorus I’ve got issues trusting you, Not because of something that you do. It’s every goodbye I’ve ever known, Every empty house that felt like home. I wanna let you see me through, But I’m scared of what the truth might do. If I keep my distance, I can’t lose… I’ve got issues trusting you. Verse 2 Every notification makes me overthink, Reading between words that disappear in a blink. You laugh with somebody, my mind starts a fight, Inventing little stories in the middle of the night. You tell me, “Stay,” and I wanna believe, But fear is a language that never wants to leave. I know it’s unfair to put that on your shoulders, I’m carrying winters that only get colder. Pre-Chorus Maybe one day I’ll learn… Not every open door is meant to hurt. Chorus I’ve got issues trusting you, Not because of something that you do. It’s every goodbye I’ve ever known, Every cracked foundation I’ve called home. I wanna tell you all my fears, Without expecting you to disappear. But every scar rewrites my views… I’ve got issues trusting you. Bridge If I run away, would you run after me? Or let the silence be the only thing we’d keep? I don’t need perfection, I just need some proof That love can stay when it knows the truth. Maybe healing isn’t waking up one day, Maybe it’s believing when you choose to stay. Maybe trust is built in ordinary nights, Choosing not to leave after every fight. Final Chorus I’ve got issues trusting you, But I’m trying harder than I used to. Every little promise that you keep, Plants another flower where the cracks used to be. If you’re willing to wait while I undo All the fears I never asked for too, Maybe someday I’ll believe it’s true… I won’t have issues trusting you. Outro So if I hesitate… don’t mistake it for goodbye. I’m just learning how to let somebody stay this time.
