[Verse 1]
Em C G
When I was a young boy I was scared of growing up

I did’t understand it but I was terrified of love

Felt like I had to choose but it was outta my control
Em C G
I needed to be saved, I was going crazy on my own

I wish I never said a thing cause to them I’m a stranger now

Felt like I had a heart of glass about to break
