You're In (For It)

It's so easy to imagine my future now that you're here.

But it's also so easy to spiral, fueled by all my deepest fears.

I want to believe our love can last, not like the ones from my past.

I want to believe we can thrive because you've never shown me otherwise.

I want to believe.

 

But babe I got this mind and it don't work right.

Tells me everyone's lying when I'm trying to sleep at night.

Tells me I'm being deceived like it's trying to protect me from something i would never have seen coming.

 

My mind is always filled with doubt, it's a real issue.

But my heart sees you and knows the truth.

It's like mixed messages coming from both all the time.

And I'm sifting through signals just trying to refine.

It's tiring to do, but i want nothing more than to be here with you.

 

I'm not trying to scare you, truly.

I'm just coming forward, accountability.

I know these things about myself i try to ignore.

But I gotta warn you what you're in for.
