I swear I’ll be more careful after this
Or not

If you’re gonna take a chance on me
You have to know that I can be really foolish
I may not look like it but my mind goes all sorts of ways
I try my very best to rest my mind but it’s usually what ruins everything, I just hope you’ll stick by me

If you’re gonna take a chance on me
You have to know that I don’t express myself well
Through speech, that is… I stumble over my words and stutter when I get worked up. I sound angry when I really want to express my regret and disappointment. I hope you can be patient and navigate around my mess.

If you’re gonna take a chance on me
You must know that I overthink too much. I admit it. I don’t do well with jokes that touch on my insecurities. I hope you can be sensitive with your jokes and reassure me when you feel that I am being insecure.

If you’re gonna take a chance on me
I can be really honest and blunt with you
I hope you don’t take offense at my tone of voice but I’ll try to be careful in the way I speak to you. I just hope that you know I’m being very honest and you have the capability of hurting my heart.

I’m just becoming very cynical at this stage
As much as I want to keep my heart open
As I should…
I’m just afraid I will be falling for the wrong person again.
