Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you dare to love, if you dare to love me
If you dare to love, if you dare to love me
[Verse 2]
I try to let down my guard
But I cover up my scars
Yeah there's no denying
[Verse 3]
It's not that I don't care
It's just I'm fucking scared
It's terrifying
'Cause I know it's a slippery slope
But i don't wanna give up hope, damn
Why's it gotta be this hard just to open up my heart?
[Verse 4]
So don't tell me that you love me if you don't mean it
Don't say another damn word if you don't believe it
Only tell me if you care, tell me if you care
Tell me if you care about me
Only tell me if you dare, tell me if you dare
Tell me if you dare
[Verse 5]
If you dare to love me
If you dare to love me
I've been going way too hard for way too long
But I'll keep on trying
I am wishing on them stars, but are they too far?
Yeah, are they still shining?
I know it's a slippery slope
But I don't wanna give up hope, damn
Why's it gotta be this hard just to open up my heart?
[Verse 6]
So don't tell me that you love me if you don't mean it
Don't say another damn word if you don't believe it
Only tell me if you care, tell me if you care
Tell me if you care about me
Only tell me if you dare tell me if you dare
Tell me if you dare
[Verse 7]
If you dare to love me
If you dare to love me
Will you love me?
Through the good and the bad would you wanna stand
Stay hand in hand, would you love me?
Through the darkest of nights through our first fight
Stay by my side, would you love me?
[Verse 8]
Would you still love me?
So don't tell me that you love me if you don't mean it
And, no, don't say another damn word if you don't believe it
Only tell me if you care, tell me if you care
Tell me if you care about me
Only tell me if you dare tell me if you dare
Tell me if you dare
[Verse 9]
If you dare to love me
If you dare to love me
If you dare to love, if you dare to love me
If you dare to love if you dare to love me
