I'm locking up, don't let it show
Feel my heart race, don't let you know-o-oh
If I let down my guard, I'm bound to break
Falling for you is a risk I can't take
With anyone else, I'm steady, I'm fine
But with you, I cross the line
You make me wanna play pretend
Paint my face, wear my heart again
You make me glo-o-ow, but I cover it up
Won't let it sho-o-ow, can't let it erupt
So I'm putting my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall too hard
If I ever did, I'd break apart
Think I'd lose control, like a shooting star
If I gave in, I'd fall too far
Always played cool, never felt the heat
But with you here, it's so bittersweet
Every time I try to speak my mind
Feels like I'm leaving myself behind
It's just not fair, you pull me in
This fire burns right under my skin
I try to hold back, but you pull me close
A game of love that hurts the most
You make me glo-o-ow, but I cover it up
Won't let it sho-o-ow, don't wanna erupt
So I'm putting my defenses high
'Cause I'm afraid to let love try
If I ever fell, I'd hit the ground
Think I'd lose it all, no turning 'round
Feelings trapped, filling up inside
Can't hold them back, no place to hide
Burning close, but I'm too afraid
Like flying high just to fall and fade
You make me glo-o-ow, but I cover it up
Won't let it sho-o-ow, can't let it erupt
So I'm putting my defenses high
Don't wanna fall, can't say goodbye
If I let it go, I'd hit the flames
Afraid I'd lose it all, never be the same
Close to the edge, close to the fire
Wanting you's a dangerous desire
I'd give it all if I knew I'd fly-y
But this love's too strong, and I'm scared to try-y
