I fell in love

[Verse 1]
Your house was always loud with laughter
I’d sit on the kitchen floor
She’d talk about boys from school
While you leaned against the door

You were just a shadow figure
A voice that felt like home
I never thought I’d look at you
And feel it in my bones

[Pre-Chorus]
It started with long conversations
About things she’d never know
You said I was “wise for my age”
I should’ve let that go

[Chorus]
Now I’m lying in the dark
In a room down the hall
From the pictures on the staircase
Where I once felt small

I know it’s wrong
But it feels so right
You say my name
Like it’s not a crime

I wasn’t looking for a lover
but I was planning this
In somewhere between the silence
I desired to be his

I fell in love~

⸻

[Verse 2]
You say I deserve someone younger
Someone free, someone clean
But you look at me like I’m the only thing
You’ve ever really seen

I hate the way I memorize
The lines around your eyes
The way you whisper “this can’t last”
But never say goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I reach the doorway
I tell myself I’m done
But love doesn’t ask permission
It just comes and never goes

[Chorus – bigger, layered]
Now I’m lying in the dark
In a room down the hall
From the girl who calls me sister
If she knew, she’d let me fall

I know it’s wrong
But it feels so right
You hold me close
Like I’m your light

I wasn’t looking for forever
But I was planning this
But somewhere between our romance
And that stolen kiss

I fell in love

[Bridge – stripped down, emotional]

We can’t let her know
She might lose control
We can’t risk our love
But I want you more

I know you’re not mine
But I can be yours
Just let me stay here
Just you and me~

[Final Chorus – softer, resigned]
So I’m lying in the dark
With a secret on my chest
Loving you in silence
While pretending I know best

I know it’s wrong
But I can’t rewrite
The way you look at me
Like I saved your life

I wasn’t searching for a story
I never meant to fall
But somewhere between your eyes
And the writing on the wall

I fell in love…
With my best friend’s dad
