Relationship Parts

Am I just being cautious
or am I being closed off?
Am I being careful
or scared of getting cast off?
It's a little unlike me
not to just blast off
I'm a lead foot kind of lover
it's all go, go, go, open road

I think that I'm afraid to feel
something for you that's not casual
cause every guy before when I have
that's when I started to feel him pull
I don't want somebody to heal me
I can get whole all on my own
but I can admit that I miss the closeness
of having someone feel like home

It gets a little harder every lap
each 365 days I can't get back
I've got a graveyard of hearts
mix tapes and relationships parts
but nothing to hold my hand
I've been thinking lately
it could be nice to trust someone again.

See if I'm being truthful
I don't know what the truth is
I give it a lot of thought
try to figure out what this is
but I am coming up blank
and I'm feeling clueless
You're something really different
and I hate that I'm coming off cold.

I'm outside your door and nervous
I knock in my way and I wait
and I'm thinking a million things
you open the door and my mind goes blank
I can't get over the sight of you
the way your hair flops in your face
you kiss me and it's already decided
I don't care if this becomes a mistake.

It gets a little harder every lap,
each 365 days I can't get back
I've got a graveyard of hearts
mix tapes and relationships parts
but nothing to hold my hand
I've been thinking lately
it could be nice to trust someone again.

I am going to try to shed my skin,
open more than my body and let you in.
show you the things that I show my friends,
try to believe that two people can both win.

It gets a little harder every lap,
each 365 days I can't get back
I've got a graveyard of hearts
mix tapes and relationships parts
but nothing to hold my hand
I've been thinking lately
it could be nice to trust someone again.
