Next To You

If I'm being honest

I think I was taught this

Somewhere in between

Here and my younger years

You get let down if you show your tears

Yeah my guards up

And it's getting stronger

But when you speak

I believe you

I take care of me

I take care of me

I wanna let you in but

I'm so scared of this cause

I take care of me

That's how I've had to be

Maybe I'll let you soon

For now I'll take care of me

Next to you

Next to you

Next to you

For now I'll take care of me

Next to you

If I'm being honest

I'm mostly self taught

From diving in way too deep

Believing the best in somebody

Who just hurts me

They never deserve me

But when you speak

I believe you

I take care of me

I take care of me

I wanna let you in but

I'm so scared of this cause

I take care of me

That's how I've had to be

Maybe I'll let you soon

For now I'll take care of me

Next to you

Next to you

Next to you

For now I'll take care of me

Next to you

I don't want my hurting

To keep me from learning

I'll give you what I got

This is what I got

I don't want my hurting

To keep me from learning

I'll give you what I got

And this is all I got

I take care of me

I take care of me

I wanna let you in but

I wanna let you in but

I take care of me

That's how I've had to be

Maybe I'll let you soon

For now I'll take care of me

Next to you

Next to you

Next to you

For now I'll take care of me

Next to you
