Risk

I'm a shattered daughter Raised by mother without a father She told me the world is cold Be trusting of no one I lived in her shadow of love and protection  But at night my eyes were still cold So I kept up the company of Men who weren't good for me Thinking I was in control But when you shine brighter Than those that are with you They take all the fire from your soul And you honestly don't even know how much it hurts to love you It's nothing that you do or did I'm just used to abuse I'm afraid to let my guard down and show you my truth Because every time I did I just end up getting used You've got me thinking  Are you worth the risk You worth the risk You worth the risk Are you worth my heart shattering into pieces Baby are you worth the risk You worth the risk You worth the risk Because if I fall for you I don't think I can get out of that pit So baby are you worth the risk Relationship after 'lationship always seemed to end in a theme The shine wore off Love lost its soft gleam Took off my rose glasses Turned diamond to plastic Their flaws were way worse than they seemed How could I do this again I was so desperate for a friend That I reduced my standards low it seemed Just as I'm ready to break again You walk and look directly through me Said your light matches my light's gleam And you honestly don't even know how much it hurts to love you It's nothing that you do or did I'm just used to abuse I'm afraid to let my guard down and show you my truth Because every time I did I just end up getting used You've got me thinking  Are you worth the risk You worth the risk You worth the risk Are you worth my heart shattering into pieces Baby are you worth the risk You worth the risk You worth the risk Because if I fall for you I don't think I can get out of that pit So baby are you worth the risk If I take this risk this'll be the last risk that I take If I open my heart to you I must be sure it won't break If I end up mistaken it's the last mistake that I'll make Because this trench called love is too deep and I cannot escape But baby you're worth the risk You're worth the risk You're worth the risk Baby you're worth the risk Oh You're worth the risk You're worth the risk Baby you're worth the risk
