Verse 1 Caught myself trippin’ over words when you walked in Playin’ it cool but my pulse wouldn’t listen Hands in my pockets, heart in your hands Swore I’d be different, didn’t go as planned Built these walls like a fortress high Told myself love’s just another lie But one look and they all fell through Now every crack got your name carved too Pre-Chorus Told myself don’t fall again Don’t let nobody under your skin But every time you say my name It’s like fire running through my veins Chorus I caught myself acting a fool for you Doing things I swore I’d never do Tried to play tough, tried to play cool But my heart goes wild every time you move Yeah I tried to guard it, bulletproof Now it’s wide open with nothing to lose Maybe love makes crazy beautiful ‘Cause I caught myself acting a fool for you Verse 2 (deeper) Stayed up late staring at the ceiling Arguing with my own damn feelings Half of me says “leave, protect your soul” Half of me already letting go Every memory hits like a wave Drowning in the mess I made I don’t even recognize Who I am when you’re in my mind Pre-Chorus Every red flag turned rose red Every warning sign went unsaid Guess the heart don’t care ‘bout truth When it only beats for you Chorus I caught myself acting a fool for you Doing things I swore I’d never do Swore I’d guard my heart, keep it bulletproof But it skips, skips, skips every time you move Yeah I tried to play it safe, stay cool But you got me breaking all my rules Maybe love makes crazy beautiful ‘Cause I caught myself acting a fool for you Rap Verse (emotional / confessional) Yeah I was solid, independent, never needed nobody Now I’m pacing every night like you’re the air in my body Got me checking every message, every “seen,” every sign Losing sleep, losing me, losing track of my mind I traded pride just to feel you close Gave you pieces I never showed All my scars, all my fears All the things I hide for years And I hate that you got that power One text and I’m weak in an hour Swore I’d never beg for love Now I’m praying to the stars above If this breaks me, that’s on me Guess loving you’s my tragedy But truth is — even knowing the cost I’d still jump knowing I might get lost Bridge (soft / vulnerable) Maybe I’m scared of being alone Maybe you just feel like home Maybe I’m chasing something gone But with you… it don’t feel wrong Final Chorus (big, emotional) I caught myself acting a fool for you Let my walls fall down like they never knew Even if it breaks me into two I’d still choose, still choose you Yeah maybe love ain’t logical But every beat feels magical If this is wrong, I don’t want cool I’d rather be crazy… acting a fool Outro (quiet) Heartbeat stuttering when you’re near… Guess some lessons we don’t ever learn
