Lyrics

I'm terrified of holding on
One step closer and I'm gone
Already got you in my chest
This love's a fire and I'm a mess
I told the doctor that my chest felt tight, like something's in the way
He checked my heartbeat, checked my pulse, said"you're perfectly okay"
I almost laughed, I almost cried, I didn't know which way to go
Because the problem isn't in my ribs, it's what I'm scared to know
He handed me a pamphlet on anxiety and stress
I said"doc, it's not that simple, it's a person, I confess"
He took his glasses off and sighed, said"love's a different department, kid"
I'm falling hard, I'm scared to death, already did what I never did
I'm terrified of holding on
One step closer and I'm gone
Already got you in my chest
This love's a fire and I'm a mess
You've got those eyes that make me forget what I was about to say
I'm standing at your door again, it's three AM on a Tuesday
I promised myself I wouldn't come, I broke it like a cheap alarm
There's nothing more pathetic than a heart that's chasing harm
You're looking for a ghost of someone from your past, I know
I'm looking for a future that I'm too afraid to hold
The nurse came out and called my name, the doctor's ready for me now
I said"tell him that I'll reschedule, I'm busy freaking out"
I'm terrified of holding on
One step closer and I'm gone
Already got you in my chest
This love's a fire and I'm a mess
You knock on my door and I forget how to breathe
My ribs are a cage and you've got the key
I want to run but my feet won't leave
I'm terrified of holding on, but I'm more scared to set you free
I'm terrified of holding on
One step closer and I'm gone
Already got you in my chest
This love's a fire and I'm a mess
