Keep The Good Things

(Verse 1) I’m always scared of quiet, like the calm before a storm, Every time I feel something real, I start to come undone. You looked at me like sunrise, like you saw the soft I hide, But I’ve been running from the warmth I’ve wanted all my life. (Pre-Chorus) And every time that love gets close, I flinch like I’ve been here before— Heartbreak is a language I know, But I don’t know yours. (Chorus) I want to know— How to keep the good things (mmmmm) How to start believing (aahhhhh) I’ve been building walls so high, always loved in lies. I want to know---- How to keep the good things (The good things) (Aahhhhh) I want to know (mmmmm) (Verse 2) You’re gentle like forgiveness, like a hand that doesn’t shake, But I’ve spent years building armor I don’t know how to break. You ask me to be honest, but I freeze and disappear, ‘Cause I’m afraid that if I stay, then you’ll be the one to leave. (Pre-Chorus) You were patient with my silence, But patience doesn’t last forever— And I’m terrified that love won’t stay If I don’t hold it together. (Chorus) I want to know— How to keep the good things (mmmmm) How to start believing (aahhhhh) I’ve been building walls so high, always loved in lies. I want to know---- How to keep the good things (The good things) (Aahhhhh) I want to know (mmmmm) (Bridge) Maybe comfort scares me more than pain, Maybe peace feels wrong in my veins. Maybe I don’t know what to do With a love that actually stays. (Final Chorus) I want to know— How to keep the good things (mmmmm) How to start believing (aahhhhh) I’ve been building walls so high, always loved in lies. I want to know---- How to keep the good things (The good things) (Aahhhhh) I want to know (mmmmm)
