The partially mixtape-titled track has Dylan explain that even when it’s the right thing to do, she’ll never learn to let someone else in,...
[Verse 1]
She said, "Open your heart, don't be defeated"
Leaving life here on out with lack of feeling
You walk in wanting to fix it, but who would want to fix this, honey?
Went against all that she said, I won't give into love
You say you love me, but who would ever love me, honey?
[Chrous]
Got an issue that I can't admit to
I should want it, but I won't commit to falling for you
It's just something that I won't do
Giving in would be a bad decision
Way too busy with my own affliction
Falling for you it's the greatest thing I'll never learn to do
[Verse 2]
You left, head in your hands and only half a man
Breaking up with the messed-up situation
All my fault, I know I caused it, who would wanna cause that, honey?
Pacing, hating myself for not feeling in love
You say you love me, but who would ever love me, honey?
[Chrous]
Got an issue that I can't admit to
I should want it, but I won't commit to falling for you
It's just something that I won't do
Giving in would be a bad decision
Way too busy with my own affliction
Falling for you it's the greatest thing I'll never learn to do
[Bridge]
Sticks and stones they broke my bones
And all the words they hurt me
Stitched myself a perfect world where I'm forever lonely
Sticks and stones they broke my bones
And all the words they hurt me
Built myself a heart of stone so no one can get close to me
You say you love me, but who would ever love me, honey?
[Chrous]
Got an issue that I can't admit to
I should want it, but I won't commit to falling for you
It's just something that I won't do
Giving in would be a bad decision
Way too busy with my own affliction
Falling for you it's the greatest thing I'll never learn to do
