Pain You Bring Lyrics

Yeah

I don't want to work harder

I wish I could be stronger for you

I'll miss out on a good thing

But there's no guarantees

And I'm scared, so scared

Of the pain you bring

'Cause lately I've been caught up in my mind

Thinking 'bout the future all the time

It's tough, it's been tripping me up

Trying to keep my hope but not romanticize love and oh

I've been thinking of you

Trying to pick the lesser of two impossibles, ay

'Cause I could give you my heart or I could learn to really not give a what, mm

'Cause I don't want to work harder

I wish I could be stronger for you

I'll miss out on a good thing

But there's no guarantees

And I'm scared, so scared

Of the pain you bring

I don't want to work harder, mm

I wish I could be stronger

And I, I, I'll miss out on a good thing

But there's no guarantees

And I'm scared, so scared

Now I'm not saying you're not valuable

I'm saying you're dangerous

No denying you're beautiful

I'm pointing out that I'm jaded, after it's faded, what is your beauty

Truly I feel love has been so overrated, so overplayed

'Cause we're selfish, manipulative

I don't think I can attain it

Yet somehow I feel like caving

'Cause maybe you're the one or maybe not or maybe, maybe, baby, lately

I've been shaky, I've been lonely

I've been waking up with no pep in my step

Not expectant for what the day brings

I've been waning from the making of promises

'Cause me breaking commitments means more breaking but the kind that starts behind your ribs

And I'm scared that I'm dangerous

And can't fix in you what's hurting

Love is sweet, yeah, such a treat, 'til everyone's deserting

Relationships are messy

How could we be the exception

No such thing as a honest blessing with no strings attached

If I want to keep this intact, I have to be working more than you're working

Just like everything else and I'm tired, so is it worth it

'Cause I don't want to work hard

To break my own heart, mm

No, I won't be that dumb again

And I'll miss out on a good thing

'Cause there's no guarantees

And I'm scared, too scared

Of the pain you bring
