Down by Emma Klein Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Maybe it’s my past
The voice of my ex is still so loud
And he’s telling me bitch you shouldn’t let down your walls
Maybe it’s my parents
Who told me that as hard as you try oh
Sometimes love can’t get you by forever

[Pre-Chorus]
Or maybe I’m over-complicating
I just can’t learn to trust
Or maybe you’re staying
I just keep waiting for you to take off running

[Chorus]
Why am I this way
I’d stand in front of you naked
But I can’t share my feelings with you
Baby I’m so afraid
If you keep me around till day breaks
Will you still feel the way you do
I’ve been building up a fortress for so long now
How do I tear it all
Down down down down down down down
[Verse 2]
Maybe it’s the movies
That told me only pure and perfect love could break the spell
Maybe it’s just me
Cuz I could say there’s somebody for everyone
But I mean everyone else

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh maybe I’m over-complicating
But I just can’t learn to trust
But you say you’re staying
I just keep waiting for you to take off running

[Chorus]
Why am I this way
I’d stand in front of you naked
But I can’t share my feelings with you
And baby I’m so afraid
If you keep me around till day breaks
Will you still feel the way you do
I’ve been building up a fortress for so long now
How do I tear it all
Down down down down down down down
How do I tear it all
Down down down down down down down
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh maybe I’m over-complicating
I just can’t learn to trust
Or maybe you’re staying
But I keep waiting for you to take off running

[Chorus]
Oh why am I this way?
I’d stand in front of you naked
But I can’t share my feelings with you
And baby I’m so afraid
Shut you out so I can feel safe
But I know that’s not fair to you
I’ve been building up a fortress for so long now
How do I tear it all
Down down down down down down down
How do I tear it all
Down down down down down down down
