Scared to Fall

Vulnerable, introspective pop-rock ballad about love and longing, fear of falling apart, yearning for intimacy without emotional dissection, melancholic and confessional, dynamic emotional builds, repetitive chorus hooks, fragile/cracked imagery, delicate yet intense mood

Lyrics

Intro

Oh, oh, ah

Yeah, yeah

Verse

I stand here trembling, caught inside the storm (inside the storm)

Reaching for you but afraid to be reborn

Your touch is gentle, but it cuts so deep (cuts so deep)

I’m holding on tight, but I’m losing sleep

Pre-chorus

Words unsaid, heavy in the air (in the air)

I just want to hold you, without a care

No need to talk, no scripts tonight (yeah, yeah)

Just feel your heartbeat close, hold me tight

Chorus

I’m scared to fall, scared to fall, fall to pieces (fall to pieces)

Wanting you near, but I'm feeling it increases (feeling it increases)

My heart, my heart, tearing at the seams (at the seams)

Love’s a fragile dream, or so it seems

I’m scared to fall, scared to fall, fall to pieces (fall to pieces)

You pull me close but the fear releases (fear releases)

I’m breaking down, breaking down inside (inside)

Caught between love and the fear to hide

Verse

Silent moments where my guard comes down (guard comes down)

Dancing on edges where I might drown

I wish for calm, a gentle space (gentle space)

To be lost in your arms, no words to chase

Pre-chorus

No questions, no reasons why (no reasons why)

Just breathing you in, no need to ask why

Hold me steady through the night (steady night)

In this fragile love, let’s take flight

Chorus

I’m scared to fall, scared to fall, fall to pieces (fall to pieces)

Wanting you near, but I'm feeling it increases (feeling it increases)

My heart, my heart, tearing at the seams (at the seams)

Love’s a fragile dream, or so it seems

I’m scared to fall, scared to fall, fall to pieces (fall to pieces)

You pull me close but the fear releases (fear releases)

I’m breaking down, breaking down inside (inside)

Caught between love and the fear to hide

Bridge

Oh, oh, hold me, don’t let go (don’t let go)

Take this broken soul, make it whole (make it whole)

In your light, I’m not afraid (not afraid)

Let me fall, but don’t let me break

Chorus

I’m scared to fall, scared to fall, fall to pieces (fall to pieces)

Wanting you near, but I'm feeling it increases (feeling it increases)

My heart, my heart, tearing at the seams (at the seams)

Love’s a fragile dream, or so it seems

I’m scared to fall, scared to fall, fall to pieces (fall to pieces)

You pull me close but the fear releases (fear releases)

I’m breaking down, breaking down inside (inside)

Caught between love and the fear to hide

Outro

Yeah, yeah

Oh, oh
