If I Fell For You

I walked in delusion
To the room I was due
There was a note
Nothing to do

I wanted to turn
Around and go home
But I didn't move
You were alone

I've never seen you before
We started to talk
We walked down the stairs
And went for a walk

You seemed like a nice guy
And borrowed my matches
I don't even smoke
But my hands got scratches

I looked at your face
Perfection laid-back
You brushed the leaves 
From my hair and back

I was at my darkest
You made me smile
I had a bad day
You made it worthwhile

I don't want to hurt you
I like you, it's true
Would it be unfair
If I fell for you?
