[Verse 1] I keep showing you the places I learned to keep concealed Every scar I stitched together Every wound that never healed I keep telling you I'm scared And staying anyway While you give me just enough of you To make me want to stay I don't need a declaration I don't need forever now I just need to know you're walking In the same direction somehow But every time I reach for you There's another wall to climb And I'm starting to wonder If your heart is somewhere else in time [Pre-Chorus] I can wait for you to trust me I can give you room to breathe But I can't keep standing open While you're somewhere I can't reach [Chorus] If you're not ready, tell me If you're still looking back If there's someone in your memory Holding what I thought we had I don't need you to forget her I won't ask you to erase Every life you lived before me Every love that left a trace But I'm ripping open scars for you I'm laying myself bare And I can't keep falling deeper If you're only halfway here So if there's no room for me yet Please don't let me disappear Into loving someone Who's only halfway here [Verse 2] I wanted you to sing to me Not because I needed proof I wanted something vulnerable Something that belonged to you You brushed it off so easily Like I was asking for your skin When all I really wanted Was for you to let me in Now you're sending her your music Waiting on what she might say And maybe it means nothing Maybe I'm just scared today But God, I wish you'd worry Half as much about my heart As you worry what she thinks of All the things you made from yours [Pre-Chorus] I can live beside your history I know love leaves things behind But I won't compete with yesterday For someone here tonight [Chorus] If you're not ready, tell me If you're still looking back If there's someone in your memory Holding what I thought we had I don't need you to forget her I won't ask you to erase Every life you lived before me Every love that left a trace But I'm ripping open scars for you I'm laying myself bare And I can't keep falling deeper If you're only halfway here So if there's no room for me yet Please don't let me disappear Into loving someone Who's only halfway here [Bridge] I can wait for you to trust me I can't wait for you to want Someone you already lost While I'm giving you my heart I can handle being frightened I can handle going slow What I cannot keep surviving Is not knowing what you know Am I meeting you at our beginning Or somewhere in their end? Am I someone you could fall for Or just somewhere safe to land? Don't keep me close enough to love you If you know you can't come near Don't let me keep on falling While you're only halfway here [Breakdown] Just tell me Even if it breaks me Tell me Even if the answer Isn't what I came here hoping I would hear I'd rather lose the possibility Than slowly lose myself Trying to reach a heart That's still somewhere else [Final Chorus] If you're not ready, tell me If you're still looking back If your heart is holding onto Something I can never have I don't need you to forget her I don't need to take her place I just need to know there's room for me Beyond the empty space 'Cause I'm ripping open scars for you I'm giving you what's real And I need someone beside me Who's not afraid of what they feel So if you cannot catch me Don't keep drawing me this near I can wait for you to trust me But I can't wait forever here [Outro] I don't need forever I just need you here Not halfway Not someday Not when everything is clear If you're not ready Tell me Before I fall All the way For someone Who's only halfway here
