I just need you to tell me you love me
I just need you to show me you care
I think it’s safe to say that you’re unaware of how much I scare myself with my thoughts

I know you love me
I know I’m being irrational
I guess it’s just true that you can’t accept someone else’s love until you learn to love yourself.

So as I sit here
On the edge of this rock
I don’t throw myself off

My mind constantly reverts back to this idea
Why don’t I? Do I really think anyone cares about me?
But then again
I’ve always been the type to back out

So don’t let me
Don’t let me back out of us
Don’t let me push you away
Don’t let me fear what you offer
Don’t let me run from what’s coming

Make me brave
Give me strength

Show me you love
Show me you care
