[Verse 1]

Whatever you're searching for

You won't find it here

But I'll admit something keeps pulling me back into your atmosphere

I'm really good at mistakes

All the marks I left on the page

They seem to never wanna disappear.

[Hook]

Why do you still come around?

When all I do is push, push, push you away

I really really wanna take a chance on you but I

I hesitate.

[Chorus]

I'm afraid to start

Don't wanna break your heart

Just finished picking up the pieces from this mess

I never meant to hurt nobody

But now I tend to move slowly

Cause if I ever slip from your fingertips

My name would be stained on your lips.

(Oh ooh woah... oh ooh woah...) [x3]

[Verse 2]

Feels like everybody's watching

To see what my next move is

Do I proceed with caution or do I just dive in?

But I'm fine with taking it slow

Enjoy life on my own

But I can be confusing sometimes, I know.

[Hook]

I'm surprised you're still around

Baby all I do is push, push, push you away

I really really wanna take a chance on you but I

I need to make sure this isn't just a phase.

[Chorus]

I'm afraid to start

Don't wanna break your heart

Just finished picking up the pieces from this mess

I never meant to hurt nobody

But now I tend to move slowly

Cause if I ever slip from your finger tips

My name would be stained.

[Chorus]

I'm afraid to start

Don't wanna break your heart

Just finished picking up the pieces from this mess

I never meant to hurt nobody

But now I tend to move slowly

Cause if I ever slip from your finger tips

My name would be stained on your lips.

(Oh ooh woah... oh ooh woah...) [x4]

[Bridge]

Nothing wrong with taking my time with love

I don't wanna be the bad guy again [x2]

Still working up the kinks in my tainted love

Colors bleed out from my heart to his

Different shades that I can't I predict

Nothing wrong with taking my time with love (love)
