What if I let you in? What if I don't run this time? Would you still be standing there... When I finally lose my mind? I've been standing here through every storm. I'm not asking you to be someone you're not. I've spent so long rebuilding broken pieces, Trying to become someone who believes this. That love isn't measured by the scars we hide, Or how many times we swallow our pride. I'm tired of fighting ghosts between us, Tired of wondering if you'll ever see. I'm not looking for a perfect ending, I just want you standing next to me. I've made a prison out of my protection, Built these walls and called them peace. But every time I turn away from you, Your absence brings me to my knees. I want the warmth beneath your armor, The reckless heartbeat underneath. But wanting you is not the hardest part, It's trusting what I cannot see. I don't need another promise. I don't know if I can give one. I just need to know you're willing. I'm afraid of what we've become. But somewhere underneath the silence, There's a love we can't deny. Even if we're afraid, Even if our hearts still break, Even if the road ahead Is paved with every word unsaid. I don't need a perfect story, I don't need a guarantee. I just need to know that tomorrow, You'll still be reaching out for me. Even if we're afraid... Don't turn away. Come closer, let me feel your heartbeat, Let me forget the world outside. I want the man beneath the defenses, The one who doesn't need to hide. I'm tired of dancing with the distance, Of loving you from far away. I can't promise there won't be moments When I struggle just to stay. Then let me show you I'm still learning, Not just speaking pretty words. I know that trust is slowly earned, And I know some bridges have been burned. But I won't ask you to forget it, Or pretend that we were never wrong. I just want a chance to build something That can finally stand this strong. What if I fall apart again? Then we face it when it comes. What if I can't find the answers? We don't have to find them all at once. We don't need to see forever, Just enough to take tonight. Even if we're afraid, Even if our hearts still break, Even if the road ahead Is paved with every word unsaid. I don't need a perfect story, I don't need a guarantee. I just need to know that tomorrow, You'll still be reaching out for me. Even if we're afraid... Don't turn away. I don't want to keep pretending, That I don't feel what I feel. I'm afraid of being broken, But I'm tired of hiding what's real, I don't want to be your burden, I don't want to beg for space. I want to be the one you choose, Not someone you simply let stay. And if I choose you... I'll choose you too. Even when it's difficult? Especially when we have to work through it. No more pretending we're unbroken, No more hiding in the dark. We may be frightened of tomorrow, But we're not afraid to feel our hearts. Even if we're afraid, Even if the heavens break, Even if we lose our way, We don't have to run away. I don't need a perfect story, I don't need eternity. I just want a love that's honest, Where you're choosing me and I'm choosing you. Not because we're free of scars, Not because we know the way, But because we're still here reaching, Even if we're afraid. Don't promise me forever... Then let me give you tomorrow. And what about the day after? We'll find our way there together. Even if we're afraid...
