[Verse 1] Never thought somebody would listen Close enough to answer me You took a question born from hurting And turned it back around Said if I ever called your name You wouldn't let me down [Pre-Chorus] And I wish I knew why kindness Makes me want to run away Maybe when you've trusted once before Even good things make you afraid [Chorus] I'm not ready to call this anything I'm still learning not to run I can't promise where this takes me Or who I'll be when healing's done All I know is when you check on me I wouldn't want you to stop Maybe I'm afraid to let you in But I'm not asking you to go [Verse 2] You ask me if I've eaten You remember what I forgot You check on how we're doing Even on the harder days It's all the little things you do That somehow get to me It's strange how someone half a world away Can make me feel this safe [Pre-Chorus] And maybe I'm finding meaning In things not meant that way Maybe this is only kindness I'm too afraid to ask you to explain 'Cause I like the way this feels More than I know how to show Maybe I'm not scared you'll hurt me I'm scared I'll miss you if you go [Chorus] I'm not ready to call this anything I'm still learning not to run I can't promise where this takes me Or who I'll be when healing's done All I know is when you check on me I wouldn't want you to stop Maybe I'm afraid to let you in But I'm not asking you to go [Bridge] The closer that I let you get The more there is to lose You make me feel protected When I thought I'd lost that too Maybe I'm not scared of getting closer I'm scared of how much I want you to [Build] You tell me I don't have to hurry You never ask me to decide Maybe that's why little by little I'm letting you closer this time [Final Chorus] I'm still not ready to call this anything But maybe I don't need to yet I can't promise where this takes me I don't need to know what's next All I know is when I see your name I can't help the way I smile I'm still afraid to let you in But maybe you can stay awhile [Outro] I don't know what comes next Maybe time will let me know I'm still scared of wanting you here But I'm not asking you to go..
