I need to feel safe I need to feel sure I want to feel wanted But I need to feel secure I want to take you at your word That it doesn't sound absurd But I need to know I'm heard For me to feel safe Cause right now I'm scared Not sure what I expected But I'm clearly not prepared To let myself trust I know that you care But I'm just not there yet I've learned from my past Sometimes things move too fast Spoiling something that could really last With disastrous results I won't apologize I've come to realize I think that you're great But I need you to wait Until I feel safe Please Could you hold me? Until we fall asleep And then when we're asleep We can dream, we can plan Maybe then you'll understand But no promises No promises I want to say yes But I need to say no I need to make my own decisions I need to know I'm in control I want to take you at your word I need to know I'm heard I'm sure it sounds strange I'm not asking you to change I'm just asking for time Until I am sure it's safe They just want to feel They just want to feel Until I feel safe I know I know I know I know I know They just want to feel
