[English]

Will I ever love the same way again?

Will I ever love somebody like the way I did you?

Never thought you'd be so damn hard to replace

I swear I don't mean to be this way

If I can't have you, is love completely off the table?

Do I sit this one out and wait for the next life?

Am I too cold? Am I not nice?

Might not be quite yet healed or ready

Should I be goin' too steady?

But I just wanna know is love complеtely off the table?

Will you bе there?

Can I still love you?

Not yet healed or ready

Shouldn't be goin' too steady

Just wanna know is love completely off the table?

I'll wait for you

Even though it always feels like I'll be number two

To someone you can't hold anymore

If you let me in, I'm ready to give you what I couldn't before

'Cause I got you, girl, let me help you through it

You're trying to fill the void with a couple boys

I can see right through it (You can see right through it)

I can you love you harder than I did before

Was in a dark place back then

I was toxic, then I was toxic to someone else

I was haunted by the hills

I couldn't give you my all, but I will

If you let me in your arms

If you let me in your heart

I don't think that love's completely off the table

Will you be there?

Can I still love you?

Not yet healed or ready

Shouldn't be goin' too steady

Just wanna know is love completely off the table?

So can you hold me?

If I let you, can you prove it to me?

'Cause I need you to calm me down, babe

Gotta get out of my head

Tryna be healed from this pain

Just wanna know, just wanna know, can you, baby?

Can you touch it like you believe in it, baby?

Do you think you never gonna leave on me, baby?

'Cause I ain't her and you ain't him, thankfully (Baby, don't leave)

But it's gon' be hard to let someone else in again

Baby, baby

Will you be there? (Will you be there? I'll still wait)

Can I still love you?

Not yet healed or ready

Shouldn't be goin' too steady

Just wanna know is love completely off the table, baby?

I swear, I swear

I will wait for you, whenever you need
