"Don't You Dare (Make Me Fall In Love With You)" lyrics

Don't you dare make me fall in love with you
Don't you dare enchant me with those eyes

If I fell through your skies
There's no way you would catch me
There's a tear in my heart
But your patch wouldn't match me

Being near you still adds to the size of my sighs
There's still seismic events at hellos and goodbyes
And I still need reminders of why it's unwise
To stare
So don't you dare

Don't you dare make me fall in love with you
Don't you dare do something so cliché

Just get out of my daydreams
You're an unwelcome guest
And stop making me miss you
'Cause you leaving's for the best

'Cause I just couldn't stand having you as my crutch
You're a simmering stovetop I was tempted to touch
If you ever return, it'll burn me too much
To bear
So don't you dare

And I know it's all so shallow, but a shallow cut still stings
And before my heart becomes Amelia's heir, I need to clip its wings
So don't you dare keep mocking me with those thousand little things that I adore
Let me ignore you, don't let me care

And don't you dare leave me still in love with you
Nothing's fair when love is war

And I just can't endure any more of the fight
When the casualties rise with my heart rate each night

Though I know I'm to blame for the glances I'd steal
For the time I kept spending pretending it's real
And now that it's ending, I still have more feelings to spare
But don't you dare

Don't you dare
