Love You Better

If you dare to let me go
Best believe that you won't get away
All your life you've walked alone
Now you've found the one that's here to stay

I know love is a scary place
Walls down for all to see
Withdrawing far into yourself can feign
A sense of security

But if you let down your guard babe
I can love you better
If you let down your guard babe
The truth will come out
You know there's nothing that we couldn't weather
If you let down your guard babe
I can love you better babe

You've been hesitant to show
Just what would make you vulnerable
I am starting to outgrow
Settling for feeling comfortable

There's nothing worse than getting hurt
It's easy to deflect
Closing up and not letting your truth be heard
Keeps a fragile heart in check
