Reasons I Fell

Was in a new place,
Didn't have to wait,
He reminded me of home
Had the same smile, and that look in his eyes,
As those that I had wanted before

I slid into it quick
I think he was a fix
For many things I hadn't unravelled
But if I took my time, if I wasn't blind,
Would've stopped the trauma bonding from happening

Let me tell you 'bout the reasons that I fell,
The reasons why I think I slipped into it so well
They'd say it was flawed from the beginning,
This is why I stayed until the inevitable end

Always had a way of making things okay, had a way of fitting the mold
Knew my family, met when we were three, who wouldn't love that story
Never made me feel like I couldn't be with him,
Was open as he told me his secrets
Willing to agree when he made me unhappy,
Also liked that I could fix him

Let me tell you about the reasons that I fell,
The reasons why I think I slipped into it so well
They'd say it was flawed from the beginning,
This is why I stayed until the inevitable end

But most of all, I think I wanted a companion
To fit into the cliché of a teenage romance
His wounds came from having no one to stand beside him
While mine stemmed from being there for everyone else

Let me tell you about the reasons that I fell,
The reasons why I think I slipped into it so well
They'd say it was flawed from the beginning,
This is why I stayed until the inevitable end
Let me tell you about the reasons that I fell,
The reasons why I think I slipped into it so well
They'd say it was flawed from the beginning,
This is why I stayed until the inevitable end

Let me tell you about the reasons that I fell
