Lyrics
I try to unpack it
My thoughts moving slow
All the doubts creepin' in
All the things I don't know
I pour water in oil
And the flames start to rise
How could I be naive when
It's us on the line?
But you hold me with all that you have
And tell me, "I'll never look back"
This is the promise I can make
To want you then want it all more
Each sweet mistake
If hurt people hurt people, I hope
I'm healed enough
And hopefully one day
You'll forgive me for
Falling in love
And I haven't an ounce
Of maternal instinct
Is there something wrong?
Am I broken or weak?
If I had one, would I trust
The world to hold her
I cry and I grieve
All the ways I could fail her
But you hold me with all that you have
And I never wanna look back
This is the promise I can make
To want you then want it all more
Each sweet mistake
If hurt people hurt people, I hope
I'm healed enough
And hopefully one day
You'll forgive me for
Falling in love
We go through the questions
We've exhausted the list
I look out the window
At the world sitting still
It was then that I knew
There's no fear I can't calm
No question unanswered
No hurt I can't heal
Next to you (promise I can make)
(To want you then want it all more)
Next to you (promise I can make)
(I'll want you then want it all more)
Next to you (promise I can make)
(I'll want you then want it all more)
Next to you (promise I can make)
So I'll hold you with all that I have
And promise to never look back
