Do Not Fall For Me

[Verse 1 - intimate, clear vocal with a quiet steady pulse] I can already feel it happening I remember every word you say I notice when your voice sounds different And wonder what I did to make it change You tell me I am overthinking Then pull me closer like it is safe You do not know how hope can haunt me Or what it wakes when someone stays [Pre-Chorus - tension rising gently, phrasing still smooth] I know how I get when something matters How every silence starts to sound like proof I could want you without asking for forever Until you make me think you want me too [Chorus - emotional bloom, deep bass and cello beneath the vocal] Do not fall for me Do not give me something I can lose I know what wanting does to me I turn every distance into truth I start reaching for forever When all you promised was tonight And I do not want to make you answer For every person who left me behind Do not fall for me Because I already want you to [Verse 2 - warmer vocal, more exposed] I want the mornings and the small things Your name lighting up my phone I want to stop preparing for the moment You decide you would be better off alone But wanting always makes me restless I read too deeply into everything A little space becomes rejection A little kindness starts to feel like need You say that I should let you know me But what if knowing me confirms Every warning they have ever given you About the way I love when I get hurt? [Refrain - soft layered vocal, simple and haunting] Do not make me hope Then ask me to be reasonable Do not make a home Inside someone so used to leaving [Bridge - nearly exposed vocal over low cello] Maybe I would not become that person Maybe fear has only made me cruel to myself Maybe I could let you hold me Without waiting for the moment you let go But I have watched myself grow desperate Trying to keep what had already changed And I cannot bear to see you look at me The way I always knew you might someday [Final Chorus - fuller low end, stronger but controlled vocal] Do not fall for me Do not give me something I can lose I know what loving does to me When I start believing it is true I might hold on too tightly I might hear goodbye in every pause I might punish you for leaving Long before you ever thought of walking off Do not fall for me Unless you mean to follow through [Outro - close vocal, instruments thinning away] I am not asking you to leave I am asking you Not to make me need you
