talking scars

I let you hold my face
As you beg for me to stay the night with you
I've been tryna play it safe
And it makes you wonder if I really care about you

I'm too worried about privacy
Unsolicited works that take my pride
You can't even put that on me
'Cause your parent's don't know I'm in your life
And your friends are all mad at me
I've been taking every second of your time

Promise you won't sabotage your life

Your scars are talking
All while you're falling
I just wanna make you feel safe
Give you shelter anywhere you stay
Don't be so cautious
Or be dishonest
I just wanna see you with my name
What I gotta do to make it fate?
(What I gotta do to make it fate?)

Bet your momma thinks you're brave
Giving warning signs cause she's lived through the worst case
Bet your daddy's quite ashamed
We tiptoe cause we feel the same weight

Oh, I worry about how you see
Everything in my life and how it goes
Swimming in your anxiety
With the fear that I'ma leave you with my ghost
But I've never made a mess of me
Still I battle every time you start to choke

Promise you won't sabotage your life

Your scars are talking
All while you're falling
I just wanna make you feel safe
Give you shelter anywhere you stay
Don't be so cautious
Or be dishonest
I just wanna see you with my name
What I gotta do to make it fate?

Your scars are talking (they wanna talk)
All while you're falling (don't let them talk)
I just wanna make you feel safe (I want your heart)
Give you shelter anywhere you stay (I want your heart)
Don't be so cautious (they wanna talk)
Or be dishonest (don't let them talk)
I just wanna see you with my name (I want your heart)
What I gotta do to make it fate? (I want your heart)

They wanna talk
Don't let them talk
I want your heart
I want your heart
They wanna talk
Don't let them talk
