There are some things
You should know about me
I have a long list of names
And a bad history
I'll try to explain here
Everything you need to know
So maybe we can flourish
And I can let us grow
I tend to push away
The people that I love the most
So they don't become entangled
With my inner ghosts
You can't let me do that
Gotta make me stay
Never let me try
And up and run away
I'm truly terrified of
Giving up control
I wanna have the cards
Keep them in my hold
Never let me close up
Remind me that you're always there
Show me it's okay
To open up and share
This is a wild ride
We're shooting in the dark
This'll never be easy
Hell, this ain't a park
So there are some things
That you need to know
Hold me in your grasp
Never let me go
Remind me that I'm yours
And that you're here to stay
Pull me back in
If I get scared and run away
Tell me to never bottle up
And let the anger out
Be there to listen to me
When I need to scream and shout
I wanna be with you
Until we're grey and old
Watch our own kids
Go through their years of gold
I know I'm fucked up
That I'm a broken mess
But with you by my side
I'll get through all of this
I love you so much
Never wanna see you go
So let's walk down this road
And see all the places it'll show.
