my skin burns when you touch me
my heart races and my chest tightens
it's something about you
something about us
the red flags are glaring
but I ignore them all
I want you so bad
but we both know
we aren't good together
so I resist
and I play it safe
wondering should I leave what's for sure
and gamble on you
I want all of you
but you'd settle
for a piece of me
if that meant I wouldn't leave
if it meant I would stay
but you leave me damaged
every chance
every hug
every kiss
leaves a mark on me
it's not safe
you set my soul on fire
I want you at every sunrise
but when you can't give me the moon
you run away until you can
so I keep my distance
and I wait
for my burns to heal
for the damage to ease up
just to do this with you
again and again
cuz I'd rather be hurting with you
than to never be touched
by your love
