Rebel
Nikki Flores Lyrics

Little rush then you run
You approach me quickly but leave just as fast

Tell me you want me but
You express your interest in being with me but hesitate to act on it

Too busy acting tough
Your pride and fear prevent you from being vulnerable and open

Just a touch and you're gone
Even a small emotional connection makes you retreat

Swear that you need me here
You acknowledge that you require my presence and love

But you give in to fear
Your past hurts and anxieties hold you back from fully committing

Don't run away, it's never too late
It is never too late to face your fears and allow love into your life

There's always a way to remedy
There is always a solution to fix any pain or hurt

Cure the pain, mend the breaks
Together we can heal any emotional wounds and repair any damage done

I can be all you need
I am willing and able to provide every form of support and love you might require

I'm not the enemy
I am not trying to hurt or harm you in any way; I only want to love and support you

You make it impossible to get to your heart
You have built up emotional barriers that make it hard to connect with you

As soon as I'm close is when you close the door
You shut me out as soon as I try to get closer to you

You're pushing me far away and making it hard
Your actions are creating distance and obstacles for our relationship

I know what you're going through, been hurt before
I understand and empathize with your past experiences that make it challenging for you to connect with me

So let down your guard, I'll show you love
Try to be more vulnerable with me, and I will demonstrate my love and support for you

But you're still running like a rebel without a cause
You are resisting love and connection even though it is what you ultimately want

It's so easy to go
It is simple to shut down emotionally and avoid dealing with feelings

Shut down and numb the hurt
You use emotional detachment to cope with painful emotions

Wish you could fight the urge
You desire to control and overcome the urge to avoid getting close to someone

But it's hard that you know
You recognize that your avoidance of emotional intimacy is difficult to change

Just let me take your hand
Allow me to guide and support you through this process of overcoming fears and barriers to our relationship

Show you I understand
I will demonstrate that I am willing to listen and empathize with your struggles and experiences

Can't keep running away from
It is not healthy or effective to continue avoiding or denying your emotional needs and desires

Running away from it all
You are escaping from all emotional connection and intimacy

You see it coming then you turn around and then you're gone
You anticipate emotional connection and love, but then retreat quickly

I try to slow you down and show you it's safe to love
I attempt to demonstrate that our relationship can be safe, supportive, and nurturing

Impossible
Our relationship feels impossible to progress as long as you continue to resist emotional intimacy and vulnerability
