*This song is part of a collaboration with Grace (who showed me these incredible lyrics). It was really fun working on this project with her, which was a month in the making; and I’m lucky to call her a friend.

[Verse 1]
Don’t really want to think about you
As much as I already do
Don’t really want to like you
Told myself all the reasons not to

[Pre-Chorus]
My mom already knew the day we first met
My best friend already placed a bet

[Chorus]
But if I can’t open up to you
I won’t need someone new
And if you can’t be on my team
My love will be your only dream
I could settle for me all my life
Could be my own husband and wife
I could settle for me all my life
Could be my own husband and wife

[Verse 2]
When I texted you, I expected nothing
Little did I know, I’d feel everything
When I saw you, I denied it all
Told myself I could never fall, told myself I could never fall

[Pre-Chorus]
I felt like lightning the first day we met
And somewhere in my heart I was excited to bet

[Chorus]
But if I can’t open up to you
I won’t need someone new
And if you can’t be on my team
My love will be your only dream
I could settle for me all my life
Could be my own husband and wife

So, if I can’t open up to you
I’ll be my own someone new
And if you can’t be on my team
I’m meant to be my own dream
I could settle for me all my life
Could be my own husband and wife

I could settle for me all my life
Could be my own husband and wife
Husband and wife
