8 Letters sing and play along

You know me the best, you know my worst,

see me hurt, but you don't judge.

That right there is the scariest feeling.

Opening and closing up again, I've been hurt so I don't trust.

If all it is is eight letters,

If all it is is eight letters,

why am I in my own way?

Why do I pull you close and then ask you for space?

If all it is is eight letters,

why is it so hard to say?

If all it is is eight letters...

I close my eyes, it's you there in my mind when I close my eyes.

If all it is is eight letters...

I close my eyes, it's you there in my mind when I close my eyes.

If all it is is eight letters...
