Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So I've been trying hard to open up
When I lost someone it hit me rough
I paid to toughen up in therapy
She said to me, "Soften up"
[Verse 2]
I'm sorry if I push your good away
Especially when I'm needing you to stay
I know you hate that I still test your love
I'm trying not to fuck this up
[Verse 3]
But the benefit of all the broken hearts that I broke before they could break me
Is a little bit of life regrets I won't bring that mess to you when you're with me
And I wanna be brave enough to show you my not-so-perfect family
And I wanna be brave enough for everything
[Verse 4]
Surrender my heart
I'm out here in the open
I wanna get closer
I'll believe in you every night
Surrender my heart
I wanna be open
I wanna be honest with you
[Verse 5]
I used to soldier through my hardest days
I used to switch it off, ignore the pain
I craved to feel it all entirely in your arms, baby
[Verse 6]
But the benefit of all the broken hearts that I broke before they could break me
Is a little bit of life regrets I won't bring that mess to you when you're with me
And I wanna be brave enough to show you my not-so-perfect family
And I wanna be brave enough for everything
[Verse 7]
Surrender my heart
I'm out here in the open
I wanna get closer
I'll believe in you every night
Surrender my heart
I wanna be open
I wanna be honest with you
[Verse 8]
I'll believe in you every night
Every night
Every night
I'll believe in you every night
I'll believe in you every night
Every night
Every night
I'll believe in you every night
[Verse 9]
Surrender my heart
I'm out here in the open
I wanna get closer
I'll believe in you every night
Surrender my heart
I wanna be open
I wanna be honest with you
