Lyrics

Did I miss my window?
Did I miss my moment?
Connection gets harder and harder the more that you want it
Why couldn't I try?
Harder to let you in
Why did I play pretend?
Don't wanna hurt you again
All the expectations from day one
I really thought I was ready
Turns out my heart wasnt ready
Still have some room to grow
I don't mean to have my guard up
I swear I try
I know sometimes
You can't tell
I hate that I have my guard up
So don't you cry
Just pass me by
I wish you well
Did I really miss the moment?
Is that window open?
You tried to reach me
Said that you need me
Wish I had made it feel easy
Now I'm just lost in reflection
Regretting our missed connection
All the expectations from day one
I really thought I was ready
Turns out my heart wasnt ready
Still have some room to grow
I don't mean to have my guard up
I swear I try
I know sometimes
You can't tell
I hate that I have my guard up
So don't you cry
Just pass me by
I wish you well
Don't mean
To keep my
Guard up
Guard up
Don't mean
To keep my
Guard up
Guard up
