Down - Emma Klein

Maybe it’s my past

The voice of my ex is still so loud

And he’s telling me bitch you shouldn’t let down your walls

Maybe it’s my parents

Who told me that as hard as you try oh

Sometimes love can’t get you by forever

Or maybe I’m over-complicating

I just can’t learn to trust

Or maybe you’re staying

I just keep waiting for you to take off running

Why am I this way

I’d stand in front of you naked

But I can’t share my feelings with you

Baby I’m so afraid

If you keep me around till day breaks

Will you still feel the way you do

I’ve been building up a fortress for so long now

How do I tear it all

Down down down down down down down

Maybe it’s the movies

That told me only pure and perfect love could break the spell

Maybe it’s just me

Cuz I could say there’s somebody for everyone

But I mean everyone else

Oh maybe I’m over-complicating

But I just can’t learn to trust

But you say you’re staying

I just keep waiting for you to take off running

Why am I this way

I’d stand in front of you naked

But I can’t share my feelings with you

And baby I’m so afraid

If you keep me around till day breaks

Will you still feel the way you do

I’ve been building up a fortress for so long now

How do I tear it all

Down down down down down down down

How do I tear it all

Down down down down down down down

Oh maybe I’m over-complicating

I just can’t learn to trust

Or maybe you’re staying

But I keep waiting for you to take off running

Oh why am I this way?

I’d stand in front of you naked

But I can’t share my feelings with you

And baby I’m so afraid

Shut you out so I can feel safe

But I know that’s not fair to you

I’ve been building up a fortress for so long now

How do I tear it all

Down down down down down down down

How do I tear it all

Down down down down down down down
