Meant To Fall In Love (Fell Apart Instead)

from Boys & Eros by Laura Meyer

/

lyrics

First time I saw you
I saw our history
Spread out before us
Waiting like a summer heat

I was like dry leaves
And you struck a match
Stuck out your right hand
Just to see me catch

Fire in the heart sends smoke into the head
I meant to fall in love, but fell apart instead

Now I am crawling
So afraid I'll choke
Can't find an exit
Through the thick black smoke

I hear a siren
Come to rescue me
They better hurry
’Cause I am growing weak

Fire in the heart sends smoke into the head
I meant to fall in love, but fell apart instead

And this sweltering heat
Is too much to take
I gave you my heart
And you made it break

I know I'll make it
Because it's always worse
Before it's better
And now the smoke's dispersed

And ’though I’ve suffered
From your arson
If you leave now
I will grant you pardon

But this sweltering heat
Is too much to take
I gave you my heart
And I will make you pay
