Before I Really Fall
Please don't kiss me like that.
I'm tired of insincere kisses.
Save it for a lover.
Now I know we’re only meant to be friends
Although I once hoped to mean more than that to you.
This isn’t about love,
This is about you leading me on and messing my mind.
Oh yes, I bear some of the blame.
I was just as willing to play
But now I need more.
Whatever I once felt when I kissed you is gone now,
Even though I don't know how I'll ever go on without it.
There are too many others you've
Kissed the same way,
Too many times I wanted you near
Too many things I wanted to share with you
When you weren't around.
So let's end it right now,
While we're still friends,
While I can still be grateful for good times we've had,
Before I really fall in love with you.
