Jan 2019
I've been chasing after illusions for too long
Holding on to a past that's so far gone
My life bleeding down the drain
Stuck in a cycle of desire and pain.

I've been trying hard to start again
Fix my life from the trainwreck that it's been
You came along just in time
Gave me some hope that things might be fine.

I don't know if I'm brave enough to really call it love.
I just know that you're the last one I'd expect to love.

I've been thinking hard these last few days
Trying to hear what my voice of reason says
I don't trust my heart.
This time I want to try to be smart.

Remember our conversations in the dark?
Can you honestly say there were no sparks?
Whenever you're by my side
Everything in the world just suddenly feels right.

I don't know if I'm brave enough to really call it love.
I just know that you're the last one I'd expect to love.

When I wore your jacket and breathed your scent
Wondering what the hell these feelings meant.
Why did your smile make me smile?
How do I know if these feelings are worthwhile?

When I'm with you there's nothing I have to hide
But you won't even let me peek your vulnerable side
How do I trust you?
How do I trust myself when I'm around you?

I don't know if I'm brave enough to really call it love.
I just know that you're the last one I'd expect to love.
