Lyrics:

Every car I get into could crash
But, oh man, do I love going fast
There’s a chance that this plane’s going down
But I don’t wanna stay on the ground
Since I found myself another half
Part of me says don’t get too attached
What if time’s gonna number our days
Guess my heart’s gonna break either way

Love is a risk
But what’s the alternative
Maybe sleeping at night all alone
Going it all on my own
Life is a risk
But what’s the alternative
When the planet keeps spinning around
I’d be somewhere missing out

Life is short, things could change in a blink
Every time I jump in I might sink
But what better way to learn how to swim
So screw it, I’m diving back in

Love is a risk
But what’s the alternative
Maybe sleeping at night all alone
Going it all on my own
Life is a risk
But what’s the alternative
When the planet keeps spinning around
I’d be somewhere missing out

There’s some days I can’t believe you’re really gone
It’s tempting me to
Build a fort out of our sheets to stay inside and never leave

Love is a risk
But what’s the alternative
Maybe sleeping at night all alone
Going it all on my own
Life is a risk
But what’s the alternative
When the planet keeps spinning around
I’d be somewhere missing out

i used to be a fan of lyn's music, but after this im a whole air conditioner

[danyydan]

I loved it. This song is so real about love because it shows that no matter how good things are, there will always be a downside to it. Love is undoubtedly a beautiful feeling that comes with its fair share of challenges; and the song perfectly encapsulates the intricate and complex nature of the human experience when it comes to matters of the heart.😢💗💗

[NathaniaDemecillo]

You can really hear the emotions in her voice. She really let's the listener feel what it's like to slowly lose a lover.

[aranimethma]

This song kinda opened my eyes to why I have been afraid of dating. Because it's a risk. Loving somone is like ripping your heart, giving them to it and trusting them with it.

[PRODVE]

lyn lapid is a huge inspiration to me and I WILL produce a song for her one day.

[rachelplummer]

the doubting your own value and your partner’s love for you, the insecurity, the staring at the ceiling on your bed only to roll over and have nothing change…I miss life before love

[chrispablo]

When I first listened to this song, I felt nostalgic about a person I admitted my feelings to 6 yrs ago and after that day, we unexpectedly parted ways. After 7 mos. We saw each other again unexpectedly in the mall. I was thinking of him then someone called out my name and when I leaned straightforwardly I saw him smiling at me :) and my feelings are still out there. Makes me cry when I repeatedly play this song.

[thatonegir]

i swear these artists keep coming out with these songs at the perfect times, me and my person had a conversation last night about how we were scared that we aren't going to be able to last a while, it made me realize that nothing is sure to last forever, no matter how hard you try </3 love a fucked up and complicated thing that i'm way too vulnerable for, no matter how many times i've gotten hurt because of it in the past

update: so uhm, when i made this comment me and this person were just friends (but we did flirt and stuff) but he asked me to be his girlfriend not too long ago, i guess i'm giving into this risk now

[datmangotho]

I’m crying, it’s incredible the amount of chills I got from this. I love how Lyn in the song is so hopeful and passionate, yet aware that her love is probably futile.. she’s willing to love even though she knows it probably won’t end well for her :, (

[Arson-Mushroom]

Currently I'm going through all the songs in tlit21c and THIS IS MY FAVOURITE SO FAR!! Lyn you're so talented I'm so in love with your music.

[iateacake-byot]

i swear not a lot of people know who you are because you are the most underrated artist out there. i love your music and i hope more people find their way to a song, to an album, and to the artist. you deserve more love

Love is a risk
But what's the alternative
Maybe sleeping at night all alone
Going it all on my own
Life is a risk

THE LYRICS ARE SO GOOD AND THE VOCALS WHATTT

[hazelgracedolino]

there are so many uncertainties when u have a person to love, and you're not very self-assured how it would turn out. there will always be a thinking process in putting urself in the middle of THAT feeling, the feeling that a risk brings.

there are so many phases in denial—a stage where you, on a certain peak, get to decide if you'd want to go for it or just keep on thinking about it.

[taeriel]

2AM here and discovering this song by chance, idk why i tear up a bit reading the lyrics. the vibe of the song is unexplaineable, it's touching, nostalgic yet there's a lingering sadness in it. your voice is beautifully soothing too

[aranimethma]

I think this song captured love so good. Although not knowing how it's going to end yet indulging in the joyful moment at the present is so well depicted in this song !!!

[emerxId]

one of my favs from the album by far. i love how touching the song is and I'm so excited to see her live!! sending all my love 💖💗

[SqueekyPea]

hearing this song for the first time live in the middle of lyn's 21st century tour was probably one of the best experiences of my life 🤧

[sketchyalater]

I LOVE THIS SONG YOUR VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! I am so happy you have a new album!! I cannot wait to go to your concert!

[awkwardazul]

I remember hearing this during her show, I don’t cry easy but THIS SONG almost got me.
