It could be the bruises, it could be the knife that's been in my back
It could be the bleeding that makes every kiss feel like an attack
Like dominoes falling one after another, I've been knocked down again and again
So forgive me for needing a little more patience, I'm hoping you can understand
That baby, I'm trying to let myself let you love me
For you to be the one to break down the walls where my heart is hiding
I want to let you love me
You're not the problem
Girl, your intentions seem so pure and clearly sparks are flying
But they tend to turn to flames and I get burned
You can blame all the lovers, one after another, who left me with my heart in my hands
So before you decide I'm a waste of your time, I'm begging that you give me a chance
'Cause baby, I'm trying to let myself let you love me
For you to be the one to break down the walls where my heart is hiding
I want to let you love me oh
Let you love me, let you love me, let you love me
Baby, I'm trying to let myself let you love me, yeah
For you to be the one to break down the walls where my heart is hiding
I want to let you love me
