Scared to Fall
jakari butler · 12 plays
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
