Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I practiced what I’d say to you
All the way across the room
Told myself I’d keep it simple
Never let you see me lose
Then you touched the small of my back
And every careful word went missing
My pride was standing up straight
Till your mouth leaned close to listen
[Pre-Chorus]
I know how to guard my feelings
I know how to leave untouched
But the woman I am around you
Doesn’t know when to be tough
[Chorus]
You undo me
One look and my defenses fall
My knees forget their purpose
My voice can barely work at all
I try to hold my balance
But your hands make liars of my strength
You undo me
And I don’t know how much more I can take
[Verse 2]
I can handle lonely evenings
I can sleep without a call
I can walk away from sweet talk
When there’s nothing real beneath it
But you don’t reach me with promises
You reach the places I conceal
And every time you pull me closer
My whole body tells the truth I hide
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t frighten easily
I’ve survived enough to know
But the minute you say my name
Every guarded part lets go
[Chorus]
You undo me
One look and my defenses fall
My knees forget their purpose
My voice can barely work at all
I try to hold my balance
But your hands make liars of my strength
You undo me
And I don’t know how much more I can take
[Bridge]
Don’t mistake this for surrender
I’m still careful with my heart
But something in the way you hold me
Pulls my caution all apart
I want to stay composed
I want to make you wait
But when your breath moves near my ear
My body gives me away
[Final Chorus]
You undo me
Now every breath is coming slow
I’m trying not to need you
But my trembling lets you know
I have carried myself through everything
Never begging love to stay
Then you undo me
With one touch
And take my strength away
[Outro / Ad-libs]
You undo me
Every time you come near
I lose the woman I rehearsed
And become the one who needs you here
Don’t move your hands
Don’t let me go
I’m trying to fight it
But you already know
You undo me
Completely
You undo me
