I am scared to fall in love
Because who does so gets broken
And my heart is too broken already to risk
I am scared to fall in love
Because I remember that boy I loved so much
Back when I was young
With a freckled nose and a high school diploma
Still wet with ink, so new
And I felt like I could take on the world
And maybe take him with me
But the truth is that he never even knew
And I don't think he even slightly liked me
While I pined for him day after day
Dropped hints he only tripped over and
I watched him get with his perfect girl
While I cried and drank tea and wrote sad poetry
So I really don't think
I'm made for love
I just love very stupidly
So really please please just don't push me because
I might fall for you and when I do
It might fall out of my pocket or chest
And get lost and shatter, and all the rest--
I lose my heart so easily.
