[Chorus: Melodic Singer] I don’t wanna feel the burn I just want to get the love and never learn I don’t wanna let you close Don’t want you to see the damage, I suppose [Verse 1: Rapper] All of my memories play back They wanna remind me, but I don’t Wanna be vulnerable, I know But I can’t stand being on my own (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Tell me what’s wrong with my design I try to move forward, but I won’t You think that I'm open, but you’re blind I might be, maybe (Hell, I might be) Take a trip through my mind and you might see why I built all the walls that you're looking through If you hurt like I do, then you might think twice and you’ll realize that you’re guarded too Only person I blame is my younger self for the promises that I didn’t see through And I know I have a hundred new rules This is getting way too heavy this afternoon I can't keep my guard so high, maybe I need to let go (Woo) 'Cause I ain’t seen a clear sky in so long I gotta get out of this thought zone (Woo) Or maybe I need a new home I look at my hands, the truth is I hate what they’ve broken ‘cause all I can build is blame Could somebody, anybody just explain? Do you understand the strain, like? My need for perfection is building, affection is killing The person I’m willing to be for a minute, the pressure is filling The lessons with healing, rejecting and still I’m Expecting to feel I’m deserving but really I’m swerving Away from the one thing I want 'cause I can’t stand the weight of the moment it all falls apart As soon as I give you my heart, the payment is due and the suffering starts [Chorus: Melodic Singer] I don’t wanna feel the burn I just want to get the love and never learn I don’t wanna let you close Don’t want you to see the damage, I suppose I, I’m just out here trying, trying to grow, I don’t want you to know I don’t wanna feel the burn I just want to get the love and never learn [Verse 2: Rapper] Sometimes I’m building a fortress, sometimes I’m crying, and that feels weak (Ooh) Sometimes I think I’m alright, sometimes I don’t think I can truly speak (Yeah) So I just shut it all down, somebody better hand me the self-destruct key 'Cause when I’m feeling numb is the only time the voices ever let me be What’s the price? What’s the price? (Yeah) Can no one give me answers In my head, in my head (Uh) Look, it’s a tiny cancer Growing slow, growing slow (Listen) There’s no one I can confide in All my hopes are really just hiding What am I protecting? Really, it's nothing Maybe I’m overthinking, maybe I need to let go (Woo) 'Cause I ain’t seen a clear sky in so long I gotta get out of this thought zone (Woo) Or maybe I need a new home I look at my hands, the truth is I hate what they’ve broken ‘cause all I can build is blame Could somebody, anybody just explain? Do you understand the strain, like? My need for perfection is building, affection is killing The person I’m willing to be for a minute, the pressure is filling The lessons with healing, rejecting and still I’m Expecting to feel I’m deserving but really I’m swerving Away from the one thing I want 'cause I can’t stand the weight of the moment it all falls apart As soon as I give you my heart, the payment is due and the suffering starts [Chorus: Melodic Singer] I don’t wanna feel the burn I just want to get the love and never learn I don’t wanna let you close Don’t want you to see the damage, I suppose I, I’m just out here trying, trying to grow, I don’t want you to know I don’t wanna feel the burn I just want to get the love and never learn
