For years I've guarded my heart
Afraid of having it be broken apart
It wasn't easy to piece them back
It wasn't easy to be back on track


But then something short-circuited in me
Making me reach for the hidden key
The key to once again open my heart
Straight, right in the middle, pierced like a dart


I may have opened it, but I am still scared
To feel this seen and to be shown some care
As happiness grew, anxiety overshadowed
For the ending, I have already foreshadowed


I know myself more than anyone else
Deep within me a certain fear dwells
I like you so, and I'm falling deep
I just know my nightmare has started to creep


Someone liking me is an impossible dream
It's funny, I can even make a thousand memes
Should I continue to swim and enjoy the shallows?
Or should I just fast-forward to the ending I've foreshadowed
