Lyrics

Every time my chest starts to feel alive
I pull the brakes like I don’t trust the ride
I read the room until I read it wrong
Turn a quiet moment into something loud
I overthink the space between your words
Turn maybes into things that really hurt
I swear I mean well every single time
But my head won’t ever stay on my side
I don’t know when loving turned into a test
Or why I’m always grading myself
I chase reassurance till it runs away
Then I blame the fear like it’s not mine to face
Every time I start to feel something real
I reach for control and I break the deal
I hold on tight till it slips right through
Guess I’m scared of losing so I sabotage too
I try too hard just to feel enough
Say too much when silence was love
I don’t mean to push when I need you close
But every time I feel it
I’m the one who lets it go
I replay moments I should let be still
Convince myself there’s something I should fix
I’m always searching for the crack in the glass
Like happiness can’t ever really last
I wear my heart like it’s under review
Always proving what I’d never lose
I don’t know how to just let things breathe
I’m always fighting ghosts that look like me
I’m afraid if I stop holding on
You’ll see the parts that I keep from songs
The ones that don’t sound strong or sure
Just a man scared of wanting more
Every time I start to feel something real
I reach for control and I break the deal
I hold on tight till it slips right through
Guess I’m scared of losing so I sabotage too
I try too hard just to feel enough
Say too much when silence was love
I don’t mean to push when I need you close
But every time I feel it
I’m the one who lets it go
Maybe love ain’t something you chase
Maybe it stays when you give it space
Maybe not every quiet means goodbye
Maybe I don’t have to bleed to feel alive
I’m learning slowly how to stand still
Let my heart beat without the guilt
If you’re still here when I loosen my grip
Maybe this time I won’t ruin it
Every time I start to feel something real
I’m trying not to reach for the wheel
Trying to trust what I don’t control
Trying not to be my own downfall
I try less hard just to feel enough
Let it be simple let it be love
If I don’t push when I need you close
Maybe every time I feel it
I won’t have to let it go
If I ever learn to let it be
Maybe feeling won’t feel like defeat
