Vulnerability

I want to believe you,
But I won't let myself,
So I keep calling it a lie.
I don't want to lose you,
I know what I have,
But I've been hurt by some guy.

I want you to know,
I want to give in,
But I just can't break free.
I want you to show,
You say what you mean,
So please make me see.

I can't handle sweet talks,
They hurt me inside,
I'm always a little paranoid.
I may not want to talk,
But I'm just a little shy,
It's not you I want to avoid.

If you're really there,
You'd wait patiently,
And help me pull through.
It isn't always fair,
But just stay with me,
Till I fall in love with you.
