I don't want to give
the monsters in me
A chance to slay you
Before I have my chance
to slay them

Only to find out
These monsters might make me whole
And maybe I will keep them after all

Because maybe these monsters
Fight for the parts of me
You love the most

I'd rather be hard-to-get
and end up with a guy
who's willing to fight for me
than be easy
and end up with someone
who doesn't truly deserve me.

I want to stay
I thought you were going to be the one to show me how
I thought that despite everything
You were going to love me enough to stay

I thought that you would see through my self sabotaging *******
That you would understand the truth
Which is that I don't know how to stay
To stay is terrifying
To leave is my default
Leave you before you have a chance to hurt me

Show me how to stay
Don't let me back away
Keep coming for me
Keep loving me
And I promise you all my ******* would melt away
Like snowflakes
The ******* would evaporate
