Fallin' For Friends
Love's Inferno: A Heart's Rebellion
Lyrics
I didn’t think I had any more tears left for you
I thought I had no more tears left for you.
But every time I look down I hope it’s your name lit in blue
Whenever I check my phone, I hope to see your name highlighted in blue.
Couldn’t tell you all the words I’ve swallowed
I can't express all the emotions I've kept inside.
Wishing you were mine
I wish you were mine.
Couldn’t tell you how I feel
I can't articulate my feelings because it might lead to losing you permanently.
Because then I might lose you for real this time
Avoiding expressing emotions to prevent losing you.
So screw you for playing with my head
Expressing frustration for toying with my emotions.
You lit a fire I can’t put out so instead
You ignited a passion that I can't extinguish.
Just let it burn, let it burn
Letting the emotions and passion burn.
Let the smoke fill my lungs
Allowing the intensity to envelop me.
Burning down it’s my turn, my turn
It's my turn to experience the emotional turmoil.
No more fallin’ for friends
No more falling for friends.
No more fallin’ for friends
Reiterating the decision to avoid romantic involvement with friends.
And I didn’t think I’d feel this strongly again
Surprised by the strength of emotions.
But I’ve got a case of you and I’m bed ridden
Feeling deeply affected by the person.
Couldn’t tell you all the times
Unable to quantify the attempts to wish away feelings.
I’ve tried to wish it away
Expressing the difficulty of moving past emotions.
Couldn’t tell you all the lies
Admitting to telling lies to cope with the situation.
I’ve told to make it okay
Using deception to make things seem okay.
So screw you for playing with my head
Repeating frustration for emotional manipulation.
You lit a fire I can’t put out so instead
The emotional fire is too intense to control.
Just let it burn, let it burn
Accepting the emotional burn and letting it happen.
Let the smoke fill my lungs
Letting the smoke, representing emotions, fill the metaphorical lungs.
Burning down it’s my turn, my turn
It's now my turn to face the consequences.
No more falling for friends
Deciding not to fall for friends anymore.
No more falling for friends
Reaffirming the commitment to avoid romantic entanglements with friends.
But despite this all, you're the best person in this room
Despite everything, acknowledging the person's positive qualities.
I don’t know why I bother to but for some reason I do
Questioning why bother, but still holding on for some reason.
But we’re through, cause baby
Stating the end of the relationship.
I know what I’m worth
Asserting self-worth and prioritizing friendship.
If were friends that comes first
Emphasizing the importance of friendship in the relationship.
I made it through once, do it again
Survived a similar situation before and confident to do it again.
And if you really knew me
Claiming that understanding the true self will reveal the incompatibility.
You’d be able to see why we can’t just be
Explaining why a romantic relationship is not feasible.
Playing these parts
Mentioning the roles played in the relationship.
I need more for my heart
Expressing the need for more emotional commitment.
So screw you for playing with my head
Repeating frustration for emotional manipulation.
You lit a fire I can’t put out so instead
The emotional fire is too intense to control.
Just let it burn, let it burn
Accepting the emotional burn and letting it happen.
Let the smoke fill my lungs
Letting the smoke, representing emotions, fill the metaphorical lungs.
Burning down it’s my turn, my turn
It's now my turn to face the consequences.
No more falling for friends
Deciding not to fall for friends anymore.
