don't fall in love with me.
not because i'll break your heart,
i won't-
but because you will find you cannot,
for i am too much.
the first time i'll tell you i'm a trainwreck,
you'll disagree,
and i'll believe you.
i'll be in tears over something trivial,
and you'll make me laugh.
you'll make me smile.
the second time i'll tell you i'm a trainwreck,
you'll assure me i'm not again.
it'll be a late night phone call,
and you'll calm my sobs throughout the night.
you'll learn about my nightmares,
and i'll start to trust you.
the third time i'll tell you i'm a trainwreck,
will be during an argument,
and you'll finally see it.
you'll tell me i'm a trainwreck,
but i make disasters look beautiful
and you'll make me smile once again.
the fourth time i'll tell you i'm a trainwreck,
you'll finally see me how i see myself,
and you'll tell me i'm right.
as you walk away you'll realize,
i told you.
i'll be a mess.
the last time,
it'll be a phone call late at night,
or maybe-
i'll show up at your door.
i'll tell you "i love you"
and you'll say, "i'm sorry, but you're a trainwreck."
