If you dare to love, if you dare to love me (x2)
I try to let down my guard but I cover up my scars
Yeah there's no denying
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
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
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've been wishing on them stars but are they too far
Yeah are they still shining
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
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
If you dare to love me, if you dare to love me
Will you love me, through the good and the bad
Would you understand
Would you love me, through the darkest of nights
Through our first fight, stay by my side
Would you love me, 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
If you dare to love me, if you dare to love me
If you dare to love, if you dare to love me (x2)
