I know I trust people
   Too easily
And fall in love
   Too hard

Or maybe it’s the beep of my phone at 2am
   Or the way you look when you smile

And I can’t help it
    When I remember your voice
    And I can feel the water in my eyes
   Trying to cleanse my soul

Sometimes I think I fall for people
     I know deep down
           Are going to leave
But I couldn’t help falling for you because
I see you
For all that you are
     (even if you don’t see it)

And I often wonder how someone
Can love the cold
      And I think maybe because
      They’ve been left in the rain
Or maybe because they are used
To leaving others standing alone

Everyday I try, I try to smile
For everyone else
      Some moments, I succeed
      Most moments, I fail

There’s always a struggle
      When there is so much I want to say
              When I ache to be able to convince you

That I’ll always be the one standing here
       Trying to protect your heart

From trusting too easily
And loving too hard
