Against my better judgement(Unplugged)

V5.5

[Intro] [Verse 1] I don’t say your name too loud, I don’t trust a sacred thing. I’ve seen rooms become a crowd, I’ve seen hope pull out its sting. You just stand there, making tea, Like the world did not explode. And the stupid heart in me Lets the barricades erode [Pre-Chorus] I don’t call it healing, I don’t trust that word. But my heart stopped rehearsing All the ways it could get hurt. [Chorus] Against my better judgment, I want you in the room. Against my better judgment, I’m making space for you. I’m not calling this forever, I’m not dressing fear as fate, But I’m laughing in the wreckage And I'm dropping all the weight [Post-chorus] So come on, be my bad idea, My intentional mistake. Against my better judgment, I’m wide awake. [Instrumental] [Verse 2] I keep one hand on the nearest door, Old habits dressed as common sense. I’ve seen forever hit the floor, I’ve learned to flinch at tenderness. Then you move around the kitchen light, Like you were always meant to stay. And something in me, scared but bright, Starts putting all the knives away. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t call it magic, I know what magic costs. But I found a little shelter In the place I thought was lost [Chorus] Against my better judgment, I want you in the room. Against my better judgment, I’m making space for you. I’m not calling this forever, I’m not dressing fear as fate, But I’m laughing in the wreckage And I'm dropping all the weight [Post-chorus] So come on, be my bad idea, My intentional mistake. Against my better judgment, I’m wide awake. [Guitar solo] [Bridge] If this is only borrowed peace, Then let me borrow more. If morning takes it back from me, Leave your shadow on the floor. I’m not asking you to save me. I’m not handing you the blade. Just stay here while I learn How not to be afraid. [Final Chorus] Against my better judgment, I want you in the room. Against my better judgment, I’m making space for you. I’m not calling this forever, I’m not dressing fear as fate, But I’m laughing in the wreckage And I’m unbolting the grate. [Outro] So come on, be my bad idea, My intentional mistake. Against my better judgment, I’m wide awake.
