Fragile

My perception of love
Is something you won't understand
I will do anything to avoid it
But I've found out it can't be planned

See, I'm one of those fragile girls
Who protect their heart with all their might
And if I lose a smile or two
For me, that's quite alright

I believe when I fall in love
It's all going to end in doom
And so I break both our hearts
And end the relationship too soon

Many have the strength to risk it
But I've been hurt many times before
And because of all the tears cried
I don't wish for love anymore

I'll push away the one I love
Just to guarantee no heart break
Love's a risk I'm not willing to take
I just don't need that kind of ache

You may think I'm foolish
But for me, loving is too hard
I tend to give up on many things
Because I'm somewhat…scarred

I don't easily trust
And I don't ever let in
But if you're true from the start
This might not end before it begins

Win my trust otherwise there's no use
In trying to win my fragile heart
And if you say one single wrong thing
Then I'll tear our relationship apart

I can't help who I am
My past is a part of me
I was raised by insecurities
So maybe you should just let me be

There's probably no point in trying
I'll always be this way
So if you can't handle me
Maybe you should just go away

I'm different than many girls
Hard to understand and love
I wish I was better because
This is not something I'm proud of

But if you take the chance
And you truly want my heart
Then maybe one day
It won't be doomed from the start

And maybe if you want my love
As bad as you say you do
Maybe one day I'll make you happy
Maybe soon I'll say I love you too
