Fear.
I’m falling for you
I don’t want to
I’m scared
Scared you won’t love me
for who I really am.
I’m scared nobody would love the real me if they saw it.
That’s why i don’t tell anyone what goes through my head
You’ll probably be over a thousand miles away by August anyway.
Maybe this was my way of saving myself from future heartbreak
We don’t talk about it, but I feel an unspoken tension
Casual relationship…or so I thought
I didn’t want to be the first to drop the bomb
So I guess I jumped on the grenade and blew myself to pieces
Pieces you don’t want to put back together
Why would you want to?
I’m not your problem. I tell you that all the time.
I’m so self destructive
I’m used to treating myself like ****
And other people treating me like ****
I don’t think I knew what to do when you came along
and you were nice to me.
You never fought with me. Never criticized me
You didn’t exactly support everything I did, but you did no harm to my mentality that I wasn’t already doing to myself.
I didn’t know what to do with someone who actually liked me
Even if it wasn’t genuine (you say it was)
It was the most genuine I’ve felt in a while
