only if you dare

I don’t know if you know what you mean to me
I don’t care if you are just running scared
Baby, you got to give me a chance
I am certain if ya just stick around
You’ll grow to love me
Only if you dare

If you run…then you’re taking up too much space
I’ll never see you because you’re trapped within four walls
I can’t take you for granted
I won’t invade your privacy
I wont bulldoze your room
I can only hope that you open that door and reach out for me
I’ll be there waiting
I’ll hold you tight in my arms
Your heart beating with mine
