You knew enough that I thought I was giving you fair warning
But before you made me fall for you
I should have made it known-

I don’t take this lightly

I’m the kind of girl that will write a boy’s name
Over and over in my notebook
Over and over down my arm
Over and over on my heart
As it runs constantly through my mind

I know you don’t want to hear it
Just listen- you need to know
How everything means more to me
You can’t treat it as a joke

I’ll make it into a fairytale
How you came to my rescue, a knight in shining armor, a dashing prince
Saving me with kind words and breaking down my walls
But that’s what happened, isn’t it?

I’ll love you
I’ll fall in love with you if you’re not careful
Then you will regret it
And I’ll still be the victim
I’m sad and broken and everyone knows
You’ll just be the next boy that couldn’t fix me

You’ll try until it’s drained you
I’ll still love every inch
And it won’t be good for either of us
Too toxic to admit

Too late
