I fear the day that the fire burns our dwindling love
I try to give what I can but it's never been enough
We drift away
We never say
What we're thinking
What we're feeling
What we're going through inside
But you and I aren't so different if we took the time to talk
So why do we act so distant, close our doors and keep 'em locked
How can I love you when I'm tryna get through to your heart
How can I show you I'm a genuine guy when you're keeping up your guard
Cause, I'm not here to hurt you
It's just that I want you
But how can I love you when you're tearing me apart
I know how frightening it is to be so vulnerable
I see the fear in your eyes, yeah, I feel the push and pull
We take it slow
Wish I could know
Are you playing
Are you faking
Are you making up your mind
But you and I aren't so different if we took the time to talk
So why do we act so distant, close our doors and keep 'em locked
How can I love you when I'm tryna get through to your heart
How can I show you I'm a genuine guy when you're keeping up your guard
Cause, I'm not here to hurt you
It's just that I want you
But how can I love you when you're tearing me apart
How can I love
The lie that we live
How can I love
The strikes that we give
How can I love
The pain that I felt
How can I love
When I'm calling for help
How can I love
The lie that we live
How can I love
The strikes that we give
How can I love
The pain that I felt
How can I love
Love myself
How can I love you when you're tearing me apart
