Fear + Avoidance Lyrics

(Can I be honest?)

I hate it when you look at me

And say you wanna love me like I've never been loved

The butterflies in my stomach

Make me wanna throw up

(Gets a little too much)

But I love it when you're close to me

And say you wanna touch me where I've never been touched

You can touch anywhere

(You could touch anywhere)

As long as it's not my heart

I need your love but I avoid it

Don't get too close or I'll destroy this

My mind perverts all your good deeds

Man, what's wrong with me

Don't swim too deep or I might drown you

My feelings big, yeah they surround you

Yeah, a wall of defence, that's what's safe for me

But still we catch a vibe on the FaceTime

All lies, can you see the fear behind my eyes

Conceal it with my smile

(Teach me, teach me, teach me to accept your love)

But at the end of the day

I still call you babe

Till I mess it up cause I'm afraid

But I think I could trust you one day

Teach me, teach me, teach me to accept your love

(Accept your love)

To accept your love

Teach me, teach me, teach me to accept your love

(Accept your love)

Teach me, teach me, teach me to accept your love

And you know I'm working on it

To believe all you promised

Let down by the first man

I'm kinda used to disappointment

But I still walk your way

If you'll take me and let me stay

Cause you always made me feel okay

Still we catch a vibe in the nighttime

All lies, but you always catch me out on time

Guess it was worth the try

(Teach me, teach me, teach me to accept your love)

But at the end of the day

I still call you babe

Till I mess it up cause I'm afraid

But I think I could trust you one day

Teach me, teach me, teach me to accept your love

(Accept your love)

To accept your love

Teach me, teach me, teach me to accept your love

(Accept your love)

Teach me, teach me, teach me to accept your love

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, darling

Teach me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

To accept ya
