Giving Love a Try

I am not strong, but I sure as hell ain’t weak

I’ve built these walls around me so thick, so thick

Gonna break your heart, gonna leave you here alone

So I’m giving you a head start to run for the door

I’m not the girl you want to save

Got nothing but a battered heart to spare

You won’t want to be around when my walls come crumbling down

You won’t want to be the one when I break down and cry

But if you are, if you are

I thank you for giving love a try

I am not fierce, so quietly I’ll fight

I won’t give up so quickly when something feels right

Crawl out of my shell, gonna let you feel my warmth

I know that you could hurt me, but I’ll risk the burn

You are the one I want to show

Even battered hearts have room for love to grow

You know I’ll be around when your walls come crumbling down

You know I’ll be the one when you break down and cry

And if I were, if I were

I’m thankful that I gave love a try

Stand before you so afraid to take that step

and you whisper to me that you’re not ready yet

You know I’ll be around when your walls come crumbling down

I know you’ll be the one when I break down and cry

And if I am

If you are

I’m thankful that we gave love a try

So thankful, we gave it a try
