Original Lyrics by J.Lynn
Late nights, moonlight shining on my skin,
Thinking ‘bout the life we could begin,
You’re standing there, a smile like sunrise,
Perfect in your way, no need for disguise.
But shadows linger from the love I lost,
Haunted by the echoes of what it cost.
A heart so heavy with dreams left unspoken,
I’m trapped in this silence while my spirit's broken.
[chorus]
Will I answer when love comes knockin’?
Or shut the door and keep my heart locked in?
Caught in between what’s real and what's pretend,
Do I take a chance or just let it end?
‘Cause if I let you in, what if he calls me home?
In this game of hearts, will I stand alone?
Hopeless romantic with a heart full of scars,
Wishing on these wishes that fell like stars.
Believing in forever but now I'm afraid;
What if this new path leads to more heartbreak?
Day by day I'm crawling out from where I've been stuck,
But each step forward feels like running out of luck.
You reach for my hand; it’s tempting me to stay —
But those ghosts of yesterday still whisper and sway.
[chorus]
Will I answer when love comes knockin’?
Or shut the door and keep my heart locked in?
Caught in between what’s real and what's pretend,
Do I take a chance or just let it end?
‘Cause if I let you in, what if he calls me home?
In this game of hearts, will I stand alone?
[bridge]
Ohhh… it’s a battle within me — to leap or retreat.
Holding back emotions with each heartbeat.
Fear makes me question every dream that feels true —
What if he wants me too? What do I do?
(Spoken) *Isn’t love worth the risk that we take…*
(Back to singing)
If trust is a bridge then why am I scared to cross it?
Living for today while counting every loss;
Will opening up leave me fragile as glass...
Or help build something stronger that’ll finally last?
[chorus]
Will I answer when love comes knockin'?
Or shut the door and keep my heart locked in?
Caught in between what’s real and what's pretend,
Do I take a chance or just let it end?
‘Cause if I let you in, what if he calls me home?
In this game of hearts will we stand alone?
So here at this crossroads with tears on my sleeve,
I’m torn by decisions that make it hard to breathe.
Love has knocked softly at the door of my soul,
And maybe it's time for my heart to be whole
‘Cause if I let you in, what if he calls me home?
In this game of hearts will we stand alone?
