lyrics

the runner and the lover (feat. shelby merry) // well, i trust you/ but not enough to place this gun in your hands/ i’ve got a past you couldn’t understand/ I could love you/ but that alone is the reason why i can’t/ love is nothing but a weakness/ shaky hands and your lips/ i feel too safe around you/ i can’t afford to let you love me/ and i will run/ cause lovers love/ and then lovers leave/ and if you say you love me/ then where does that leave me?/ i don’t trust you/ cause you’re everything that i’ve been praying for/ and i’m scared that you won’t find what you came looking for/ i can’t love you/ when i came even learn to love myself/ and love is nothing but a weakness/ shaky hands and your lips/ i feel too safe around you/ i’m begging please just break me in/ where does that leave me?/ dying on the ground asking why i couldn’t see/ cause every devil that i’ve ever loved looked just like a saint/ so would you hold my soul and whisper close that you will never change/ you should leave/ don’t walk away/ cause my past and all this empty space is gonna kill me anyways/
