Reluctantly Romantic

I know you overthink when I'm quiet

But I just can't find the words

To tell you how I feel, so I'll hide it

Pretend I don't know it hurts

Can't break if I pull away

So I'll love you from the dark

Hold me 'til I feel something

And I'll blame it on a broken heart

I'm reluctantly romantic

Convincing myself you're better off without

Flaunting my bad habits

I'll say it too loud, I know that you hate the sound

Reading into your silence, am I enough?

Always afraid of the things that I'm not

I'm reluctantly romantic

Convincing myself you're better off without

I can only be what you let me

So why don't you let me in?

You can change your ways when you're ready

Why don't you feel the way I do?

Is there reason to or am I

Blinded by your light?

Is it me? I don't wanna compete

With your own insecurities

I'm reluctantly romantic

Convincing myself you're better off without

Flaunting my bad habits

I'll say it too loud, I know that you hate the sound

Reading into your silence, am I enough?

Always afraid of the things that I'm not

I'm reluctantly romantic

Convincing myself you're better off without

I'm trying my hardest

Got to open up, don't be guarded

Can't you see we're worth fighting for?

I'm reluctantly romantic

Convincing myself you're better off without

Flaunting my bad habits

I'll say it too loud, I know that you hate the sound

Reading into your silence, am I enough?

Always afraid of the things that I'm not

I'm reluctantly romantic

Convincing myself you're better off without
