Echoes of a Broken Heart

Lyrics

PLEASE DON’T LET ME RUIN THIS [Verse 1] You came in quiet, nothing like the rest No stupid games, no weight upon my chest You listen when I talk, you look me in the eyes And for the first time, love don’t feel like lies We like the same songs, hate the same things Talk about forever like it doesn’t scare me You’re everything I asked the universe to give Now I’m terrified I’ll ruin it [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause when I care, I care too much One little change and I lose my trust You take too long, my mind goes black Telling me you’re never coming back I know it’s not you, I know it’s my head Turning one silence into the end And I hate that the person I wanna protect Is the person I’m scared I’ll hurt instead [Chorus] Please don’t let me ruin this You’re everything I never thought I’d get I can see a house, your name next to mine Little versions of us somewhere down the line But my heart turns love into a battlefield Even when there’s nothing there to fight I don’t wanna push you just to see If you’ll come running back to me If I say “leave”, please hear what I mean I’m scared you’ll leave before you see That underneath all of this I’m just begging, please don’t let me ruin this [Verse 2] Some days you’re heaven, you can do no wrong Then one wrong tone and something switches on I read between words that you never even said Build an entire funeral inside my head I wanna be easy, wanna love you slow Not need reassurance everywhere we go I wanna believe you when you say you’ll stay Without testing your love a hundred different ways You’re a gentleman, patient and kind Everything I thought I’d never find And maybe that’s exactly why I’m scared I finally have something I can’t bear to lose [Bridge] I don’t need saving, I need time To learn that love can still be mine Without bleeding just to prove it’s real Without breaking something just to feel So if I’m distant, if I’m cold If I’m terrified and lose control Know I’m fighting every voice inside That says good things always fucking die I don’t want anybody else I don’t want another almost-love If forever ever had a face God, I swear it looks like us [Final Chorus] So please don’t let me ruin this You’re everything I never thought I’d get I can see your hand with a ring on mine Kids in the backseat somewhere down the line And I know my heart can be hard to hold I feel everything a thousandfold But I’m learning love is not a test And I don’t have to lose you to know you care If I get scared, I’ll try to speak Instead of turning fear into a scene ’Cause underneath all of this There’s one thing I know is true— I don’t wanna run I don’t wanna disappear I don’t wanna make you pay For everybody who wasn’t here I just wanna love you Without being scared of it So please… don’t let me ruin this.
