Dare To Love Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you dare to love, if you dare to love me
If you dare to love, if you dare to love me
I try to let down my guard, but I cover up my scars
Yeah, there's no denyin'
It's not that I don't care, it's just I'm fuckin' scared
It's terrifyin'
'Cause I know it's a slippery slope
But I don't wanna give up hope
Damn, why's it gotta be this hard just to open up my heart?
So don't tell me that you love me if you don't mean it
Don't say another damn word if you don't believe it
Only tell me if you care, tell me if you care, tell me if you care
About me
Only tell me if you dare, tell me if you dare, tell me if you dare
If you dare to love me, yeah
If you dare to love me
I've been goin' way too hard for way too long
But I'll keep on tryin'
I've been wishin' on them stars, but are they too far?
Yeah, are they still shinin'?
I know it's a slippery slope (slope)
But I don't wanna give up hope
Damn, why's it gotta be this hard just to open up my heart?
So don't tell me that you love me if you don't mean it
(If you don't mean it)
Don't say another damn word if you don't believe it
(If you don't believe it)
Only tell me if you care, tell me if you care, tell me if you care
About me
Only tell me if you dare, tell me if you dare, tell me if you dare
If you dare to love me
If you dare to love me
Would you love me through the good and the bad?
Would you understand? Stay hand in hand?
Would you love me through the darkest of nights?
Through our first fight, stay by my side
Would you love me? Would you still love me?
So don't tell me that you love me if you don't mean it
(If you don't mean it)
And, no, don't say another damn word if you don't believe it
(If you don't believe it, yeah)
Only tell me if you care, tell me if you care, tell me if you care
About me (yeah)
Only tell me if you dare, tell me if you dare, tell me if you dare
If you dare to love me
(Through the good and the bad, would you wanna stand?)
If you dare to love me
(Through the darkest of nights, through our first fight)
Oh, if you dare to love, if you dare to love me
If you dare to love, if you dare to love me
