love me less

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
Next to you, wide awake
With all the things I'll never say
I'm tryin' to, but I can't go there
Parts of me that I hate
Keep my heart locked in this cage
Dead-end street goin' nowhere

[Pre-Chorus]
And I wanna believe
When you say you'll never leave
But what if history repeats?

[Chorus]
All I want is to be loved
But I'm afraid of bein' hurt again
What if I try to open up
And you don't like what's underneath my skin?
I can see it in your eyes
You're lookin' at me like I'm heaven-sent
Baby, you don't know the closer that we get, I'm scared to death
If you know me more, you'll love me less

[Verse 2]
Wear this smile like a mask
Hopin' that you'll never ask
What's underneath, don't wanna show you
I still got cuts from my past
I'm barefoot on this shattered glass
And if I slip, would you still love who I really am?

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I wanna believe
When you say you'll never leave
But what if history repeats?

[Chorus]
All I want is to be loved
But I'm afraid of bein' hurt again
What if I try to open up
And you don't like what's underneath my skin?
I can see it in your eyes
You're lookin' at me like I'm heaven-sent
Baby, you don't know the closer that we get, I'm scared to death
If you know me more, you'll love me less (Ooh, ooh)

[Outro]
You'll love me less (Ooh, ooh)
Would you love me less? (Ooh, ooh)
Baby, I've been here before, I know the way it always ends
If you know me more, you'll love me less
