I Don'T Want To
I don't want to fall like this again
and get a little crush like this again
and learn later that it's not reciprocated
things like that have me so jaded
and it's what makes me so afraid
I'm getting an inkling that these butterflies
might start fluttering again soon
but I never want to get my hopes up
cause I always end up looking like the fool
who knows he might already be snatched up
or maybe I will fall so hard
that when he drops me it hurts
I don't want to fall like this
I don't want to imagine his kiss
or even dream about the idea
of how good it would be
cause I've been let down for so long
I don't want to give my heart a chance
I shouldn't fill my head with these silly shenanigan
cause a person like me can't handle let downs
and if I fall and risk it all will I land softly or on the floor?
I just don't want to get hurt again
So I say again
I don't want to fall like this
but I can't help it
