I would like to say I fought you off
I would like to say I wasn't charmed
That I pushed you away with a scoff
That I was beautifully armed

I would like to say my choosing you took time
I would like to say this thing we have created is all mine
That winning me over was a rigorous uphill climb
That this falling I am feeling was a choice, a purposefully crossed line

But I have never been a very good liar
And you see every inch of my soul with every adoring look
And with every kiss you take me higher
With every touch I tried to hide my fingers that shook

I would like to say I could walk away anytime I wanted
No consequences, no tears, just like a tumbleweed blowing through
But falling is like being hunted
You don't know it yet but someone already has you
