love me less

Ooh, ooh
Next to you, wide awake
With all the things I'll never say
I'm tryin' to, but I can't go there

Parts of me that I hate
Keep my heart locked in this cage
Dead-end street goin' nowhere
And I wanna believe

When you say you'll never leave
But what if history repeats?
All I want is to be loved
But I'm afraid of bein' hurt again

What if I try to open up
And you don't like what's underneath my skin?
I can see it in your eyes
You're lookin' at me like I'm heaven-sent

Baby, you don't know the closer that we get
I'm scared to death
If you know me more, you'll love me less

Wear this smile like a mask
Hopin' that you'll never ask
What's underneath, don't wanna show you

I still got cuts from my past
I'm barefoot on this shattered glass
And if I slip, would you still love who I really am?

'Cause I wanna believe
When you say you'll never leave
But what if history repeats?

All I want is to be loved
But I'm afraid of bein' hurt again
What if I try to open up
And you don't like what's underneath my skin?

I can see it in your eyes
You're lookin' at me like I'm heaven-sent
Baby, you don't know the closer that we get
I'm scared to death

If you know me more, you'll love me less (ooh)
You'll love me less (ooh)
Would you love me less? (Ooh)

Baby, I've been here before
I know the way it always ends
If you know me more, you'll love me less
