Fear + Avoidance

(Can I be honest?)

I hate it when you look at me
And say you wanna love me like I've never been loved
The butterflies in my stomach
Make me wanna throw up
(Gets a little too much)
But I love it when you're close to me
And say you wanna touch me where I've never been touched
You can touch anywhere
(You could touch anywhere)
As long as it's not my heart

I need your love but I avoid it
Don't get too close or I'll destroy this
My mind perverts all your good deeds
Man, what's wrong with mе
Don't swim too deep or I might drown you
My feelings big, yeah they surround you
Yeah, a wall of dеfence, that's what's safe for me
But still we catch a vibe on the FaceTime
All lies, can you see the fear behind my eyes
Conceal it with my smile
(Teach me, teach me, teach me to accept your love)
But at the end of the day
I still call you babe
Till I mess it up cause I'm afraid
But I think I could trust you one day

Teach me, teach me, teach me to accept your love
(Accept your love)
To accept your love
Teach me, teach me, teach me to accept your love
(Accept your love)
Teach me, teach me, teach me to accept your love

And you know I'm working on it
To believe all you promised
Let down by the first man
I'm kinda used to disappointment
But I still walk your way
If you'll take me and let me stay
Cause you always made me feel okay

Still we catch a vibe in the nighttime
All lies, but you always catch me out on time
Guess it was worth the try
(Teach me, teach me, teach me to accept your love)
But at the end of the day
I still call you babe
Till I mess it up cause I'm afraid
But I think I could trust you one day

Teach me, teach me, teach me to accept your love
(Accept your love)
To accept your love
Teach me, teach me, teach me to accept your love
(Accept your love)
Teach me, teach me, teach me to accept your love

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, darling
Teach me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
To accept ya
