Overthinking

Why can’t I just be honest?
Why is it so hard to tell you?
I’m more terrified of rejection 
Then being left in the dark.

Why am I having trouble 
To trust you and your intentions?
Am I getting too paranoid
Or should I trust my gut this time?

Cause when I mess up with you
I always keep blaming myself.
Whenever I think there’s problems 
I always think I’m the one in trouble 

Your reassurance is what I thought I needed
But I’m relying on your approval too much.
The dynamic in our relationship 
Outweighs the balance on a scale

I’m not sure how this relationship will end
If it keeps moving like this, it’s gonna crash
And I’m tired of being left in the smoke
