I gave myself whole, with an open soul,

But the scars speak louder,

And every time you pull away a little,

I feel like history will repeat itself, all over again.

I try to be strong, I try to believe,

Will you stay? Or will you leave me?

I've already tasted the bitterness of loneliness,

Of being left in a corner, without explanation

The abandonment syndrome eats me up inside,

I lose myself in doubt, I drown in torment.

And every time you walk away, the pain comes again.

I'm not the most perfect person in the world

Baby, I swear I'm trying to give you the best

I cling to every word, every touch you give me,

When I'm by your side, I forget all these insecurities

I try to be strong, I try to believe,

Will you stay? Or will you leave me?

I've already tasted the bitterness of loneliness,

Of being left in a corner, without explanation

The abandonment syndrome eats me up inside,

I lose myself in doubt, I drown in torment.

And every time you walk away, the pain comes again.

I cling to you, but I'm afraid of falling,

Because all my falls are still here.

I want to be lucky enough to marry you

I want to walk you down the aisle and grow old with you
