Don't Make Me

FREE IMAGES I've had the idea for this one in my head for awhile, and it's actually based on one specific person (who shall remain nameless, of course...). Sometimes, I just want to scream, "You know what? Don't stir up all these feelings in me if that's all they're ever going to be...feelings." There are just certain people who string our hearts along, and even if they don't know it, it can hurt. Have you ever felt this way, friends? xoxo

I feel like a slow-burning candle in an empty room

Slowly burning down to tiny flickering embers

And you, you ran off with those matches

Just look at what you've done...do you even remember?

I tried to stop myself from falling in love with you

But now I can't stop myself from wanting to

Oh, baby, I've got you to thank

You stole my heart and ran away

It's a haunted kind of lonely

The kind where you're gone but still here

It's quiet but I can still hear your voice pulling me in

Oh, baby, don't make me fall if you won't be there to catch me

It's this kind of unfinished emotion that keeps me up at night

Wondering what you're doing and if you wish you could go back

'Cause there I was, standing on the edge of something

It was bigger than myself and something I never planned

You're leaving much too soon

To leave me in this empty room

Oh, baby, I've got you to thank

You stole my heart and ran away

It's a haunted kind of lonely

The kind where you're gone but still here

It's quiet but I can still hear your voice pulling me in

Oh, baby, don't make me fall if you won't be there to catch me

I tried to stop myself from falling in love with you

But now I can't stop myself from wanting to

Oh, baby, I've got you to thank

You stole my heart and ran away

It's a haunted kind of lonely

The kind where you're gone but still here

It's quiet but I can still hear your voice pulling me in

Oh, baby, don't make me fall if you won't be there to catch me

Oh, baby, I've got you to thank

You stole my heart and ran away

It's a haunted kind of lonely

The kind where you're gone but still here

It's quiet but I can still hear your voice pulling me in

Oh, baby, don't make me fall if you won't be there to catch me
