Maria Shockey - Composure

As you're driving us down seventeenth and I 
Don't say a word cause I can't even breathe as I'm
Watching you getting mad, begging me to be
Honest, I want to but honestly 
I feel so small sitting there next to you
You do the opposite of what I expect you to
And I don't fight fair, make you think I don't care
Because I do, more than I want to
And you don't judge me
The way I do
And you probably could love me right
If I could learn to let you
Oh oh, why do I do it?
Terrified, messy and human
Tried to believe that love was overrated
But I think I'd want if it I wasn't so jaded 
I want you to know me
You don't like when I hold back the whole me
And in this moment what would hurt me more?
Losing you or my composure 
There's no risk, there's no mess if you're not vulnerable
You don't fall, you just hold your false sense of control
But there's no love there and I wanna go where
I can just hold you and not hold it all together
Hold it together
Oh oh, why do I do it?
Terrified, messy and human
Tried to believe that love was overrated
But I think I'd want if it I wasn't so jaded 
I want you to know me
You don't like when I hold back the whole me
And in this moment what would hurt me more?
Losing you or my composure 
You don't judge me
The way I do
And I would cause a scene with all this honesty if I got to keep you
Oh oh, why do I do it
Aren't we all messy and human
Tried to believe that love was overrated 
Yeah it's a risk but baby, I wanna take it 
'Cause I want you to know me
Break down and let you hold me
In this moment knowing someone's worth
Losing my composure
If I spell it all out
Let you in the mess
How sure am I you'll catch me?
'Cause I'm out on the ledge now
Can't mess this up, no
You matter too much
You got me so uncomfortable the way you love me for me
Like it's possible for us to change the story
'Cause I'm good in the right light
But no one loves the bad side like you
It's a risk but baby
I wanna take it, yeah
