Terrified at Heart

Verse 1

I woke up with your name

Still echoing inside my head,

But something feels different

From the words you never said.

I keep reaching for the feeling

That I used to know so well,

But there's distance in the silence,

And I can't tell what it means.

I don't wanna overthink it,

I don't wanna start a fight,

I just wish I could be certain

That we're still alright.

Maybe I'm imagining shadows,

Maybe I'm afraid,

But when you've learned to expect goodbye,

It's hard to trust it when someone stays.

Pre-Chorus

So I'll swallow all my questions,

Try to keep my heart at ease,

Even when the doubt keeps whispering

Things I don't wanna believe.

Chorus

I know this is real.

But it feels like we're fading apart.

I don't wanna leave you,

But fate's trying to pull a cruel joke.

I'm sorry for assuming this,

But I'm thinking you might not care...

And I honestly understand, as much as I love you,

I'm used to rejection...

I'll make it through.

Verse 2

Maybe I'm just scared of losing

Something I don't wanna lose,

Maybe every little silence

Feels like something I must prove.

I know you never promised

You could silence every fear,

But sometimes I need reminding

That you're still here.

I don't want to blame you

For the battles in my head,

I don't want my old wounds

Writing things you never said.

So I'll take another breath

And let the moment pass,

Trying not to turn tomorrow

Into something from my past.

Pre-Chorus

I don't need a perfect answer,

I don't need a guarantee,

I just need to know that somewhere

There's still a place for me.

Chorus

I know this is real.

But it feels like we're fading apart.

I don't wanna leave you,

But fate's trying to pull a cruel joke.

I'm sorry for assuming this,

But I'm thinking you might not care...

And I honestly understand, as much as I love you,

I'm used to rejection...

I'll make it through.

Bridge

If you stay, I'll be grateful.

If you go, I'll still survive.

I've been scared of every ending,

But I've made it every time.

And maybe love isn't knowing

Nothing ever falls apart.

Maybe it's choosing to be honest

When you're terrified at heart.

Final Chorus

I know this is real.

But it feels like we're fading apart.

I don't wanna leave you,

But fate's trying to pull a cruel joke.

I'm sorry for assuming this,

But I'm thinking you might not care...

And I honestly understand, as much as I love you,

I'm used to rejection...

I'll make it through.

Outro

Maybe we're not fading.

Maybe I'm just scared.

Maybe all the silence

Doesn't mean you're not there.

I don't know what tomorrow brings,

But whatever I go through,

I'll carry what I felt,

And I'll make it through.
