Lyrics
but love still feels the bruise.
was another backup plan away.
Never knew how to trust tomorrow,
‘cause my mind kept runnin’ yesterday.
So I held on loose to good folks,
too scared to let ‘em hold me tight.
Girl, I’d smile and say “I’m fine,”
while my thoughts slipped out at night.
I spent waitin’ on your eyes…
hopin’ someday you’d stop runnin’
from the truth behind your sighs.
I tried so hard to reach you,
but you lived inside your head—
and every time I got too close,
you shut down in your stead.
on the way to stayin’ safe.
(And I’m sorry for the tears I hid
when you drifted into space.)
It ain’t that I didn’t love you—
Lord knows I wanted to.
(But lovin’ someone who won’t trust you
breaks a piece inside you too.)
but I guess I finally see—
my fallback plans
just fallout plans
that kept you far from me.
(And I kept waitin’ in the shadows
for the man I knew you’d be.)
I’d freeze up, swallow truth—
‘cause inside me was a thunderstorm
I’d been fightin’ since my youth.
Every moment felt like danger
even when it came in love,
so I braced for you to leave me
like the past I couldn’t rise above.
I’d wonder what I did…
not knowin’ it was fear in you
and not somethin’ I said.
I held your hand through silence,
your distance and your doubt—
but it’s hard to love a heart
that’s always tryin’ to get out.
on the way to stayin’ safe.
(And I’m sorry for the years I spent
tryin’ to hold you in one place.)
It ain’t that I didn’t love you—
God knows I always knew.
(But you can’t build somethin’ steady
when the ground keeps movin’ under you.)
that have always lived in me—
(And I wish you knew you’re worthy
of a life lived wild and free.)
I’d spill the truth I never gave…
HER: And if I could give you mercy,
I’d return the trust you couldn’t save.
if they meant a thing or two…
HER: And no one should have to fear
what love might ask of you.
I know you never meant to run.
But all the hopes I carried
felt too heavy when undone.
I know I made a mess…
but darlin’, facing love was always
a kernel of my stress.
on the way to stayin’ safe.
(And I’m sorry that we lost ourselves
inside the empty space.)
It ain’t that I didn’t love you—
Lord knows I always knew.
(But sometimes loving someone broken
breaks a part of you.)
I hope someday you’ll see—
I wasn’t runnin’ from your love…
I was runnin’ from Plan B.
(And I was standin’ right behind you,
wishin’ you’d just turn to me.)
HER: And the hardest part of loving you…
is knowin’ you never meant the hurt.
