Don't Fall in Love With Me

dont look for peace in me
before you know
what battles I carry in my hands

dont call me a warrior
just cause i paint my face
to hide the one i am

you're not for me to save
don't try to spell my name in your dreams at night
and don't fall in love with me
babe, that's simply not your right

everything i got i worked for
worked my hardest
and now i fight to keep it

don't be that kind
who blows my house to the ground
just because you need it

now i'm safe and i'll behave
don't try to turn the game once i'm passing through
and dont fall in love with me
cause i shouldn't fall in love with you

now who are you?
thinking you can wrap me all around your fingers?
never have i been unsure about my dreams
but who am i now?
walk into your life, should turn, but i just linger
never have i been unsure about why i am
loving, so wild, loving so blindly
i won't lose myself all over
now who are you?
thinking you can wrap me all around your fingers
just don't you fall...

so don't speak to me that way
as if I'm weak for
everything you're saying

babe, i'm not weak for you
i am strong in my passion
but that's still not betraying

maybe i'm a riot, a fire burning quietly
already lost
but don't fall in love with me
before i know to what cost

see, the world has a grip of me
it tells me what to do with love and what not
maybe i'm not made for these rules
'cause I was nowhere when someone made them up

you say everything will fade
and the only thing that stays are the things we didn't do
but don't fall in love with me
'cause babe, I'm not letting you
