Scared to Start Lyrics

[Verse 1] She's wearing an old dress, walking it out Waiting for someone to turn her around But she won't believe you When you fall down on your knees She fell asleep listening to my friends Talking on and on about how the world ends Then she wakes up And climbs in my front seat [Chorus] And she said "Don't you wait to try it Are you scared to find it? And do you wanna take my broken heart? Are you scared to start?" [Verse 2] Let's lay in the dead grass, stare at the stars Run away and live out of cars and bars Let's just leave here 'Cause there's nothing left to see And if that's wrong, let's make it right And if you leave, just give me one more night 'Cause there's no one That you'll find that's quite like me You might also like née-nah 21 Savage, Travis Scott & Metro Boomin redrum 21 Savage J CHRIST Lil Nas X [Chorus] And she said "Don't you wait to try it Are you scared to find it? And do you wanna take my broken heart? Are you scared to start?" [Bridge] You don't need the paycheck, don't need the rent You can take it all 'cause it's already spent We can burn out, just as long as we burn bright [Chorus] And she said "Don't you wait to try it Are you scared to find it? And do you wanna take my broken heart? Will you ever heal from all these scars? Did you ever take it all so far? Are you scared to start?"
