Here's the cold, hard truth:
You terrify me.
Us, together — it terrifies me.
I'm a sucker for spoilers,
And I'm offered not one.
And when I was 10, I was scolded
— told to never blindly trust.
But isn't that what this really is?
I wish you would wrap your arms around me.
Maybe then I'd feel some security.
I feel safe with my head against your heart;
It's a moment I can control.
But when I fall into your embrace,
I wish you'd give it your all.
Because right now it just feels like a blind trust fall.
