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
'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
