Safe

I need to feel safe
I need to feel sure
I want to feel wanted

But I need to feel secure
I want to take you at your word
That it doesn′t sound absurd
But I need to know I'm heard

For me to feel safe
Cause right now I′m scared
Not sure what I expected
But I'm clearly not prepared
To let myself trust
I know that you care
But I'm just not there yet

I′ve learned from my past
Sometimes things move too fast
Spoiling something that could really last
With disastrous results
I won′t apologize
I've come to realize
I think that you′re great
But I need you to wait
Until I feel safe

Plеase
Could you hold me?
Until we fall asleep
And thеn when we're asleep
We can dream, we can plan
Maybe then you′ll understand
But no promises
No promises

I want to say yes
But I need to say no
I need to make my own decisions
I need to know I'm in control
I want to take you at your word
I need to know I′m heard
I'm sure it sounds strange
I'm not asking you to change
I′m just asking for time
Until I am sure it′s safe

They just want to feel
They just want to feel
Until I feel safe
I know I know I know I know I know
They just want to feel
