Falling In Love Is Scary

Written: October 12th, 2023

Genre: Pop

1ST VERSE:

The tale of love is oh so old

But it's nothing like mythology

And it's nothing like I expected it to be

My mind is always brainstorming

Reasons why this won't lead to a happy ending

My thoughts foreshadowing the crevices of a mad scientist

And the monster I've made up is my worst enemy

Which is really just a faltering version of me

Who doesn't seem to be rooting for our love to work out

And those are the fears that have been haunting me around

PRE-CHORUS:

And this may not be a scary movie

But my head's response to what my heart feels, rings as alarming

CHORUS:

I always thought once you're in love, it'd be easy

But it turns out my fears of heartbreak tend to unleash

And proceed to creep up on me

Don't get me wrong, I love being in love

But honestly, falling in love is scary

2ND VERSE:

Falling in love can be eery

Voices in my head insisting it won't work out

And suddenly falling in love feels scary

Even more frightening than a blood-boiling jumpscare on halloween

Cause even a killer from a thriller is more predictable

Than what would hypothetically lead to our love's doom

Mentally jotting down every possible outcome

Falling in love so young is making me feel dumb

And logic is a vampire in disguise who has come

To suck out all the fun of a first love

PRE-CHORUS:

There's always bound to be self doubt shelved around

And promptly ready to crumble down at the worst timing

I find myself running in a maze strategized by my brain

Inserting every possible mistake, so I'll take the blame

CHORUS:

I always thought once you're in love, it'd be easy

But it turns out my fears of heartbreak tend to unleash

And proceed to creep up on me

Don't get me wrong, I love being in love

But honestly, falling in love is scary

BRIDGE:

This time, for once, it'll be different

Cause luckily you're nothing like him

Putting all my trust, you're the one I'll rely in

The odds are against us

So we can't lose faith in fate

I'm so inexperienced in coherent love

I'm so scared to mess this up

Oh, what if I miss up?

Tell me, what if I mess up?

CHORUS:

I always thought once you're in love, it'd be easy

But it turns out my fears of heartbreak tend to unleash

And proceed to creep up on me

Don't get me wrong, I love being in love

But honestly, falling in love is scary

All day long I've been organizing my halloween vibes playlist on Spotify and that ultimately gave me the inspriration to try and write a spooky themed song about what I'm feeling this October. It's funny though, cause I didn't think that it would actually turn out this good, but hey, I surprised myself ( ooh, such a scare ) and wrote a halloween themed love song! Finally I'm songwriting songs like crazy, I'm back!! I think I'm still processing the whole thing and self-doubting it's really real ( I always do this, nothing new ). Truth is, I've never been in love before and it's scary to feel all these emotions at once.

Like, yeah, love has it's happy moments, but they never warn you that love can be a scary emotion too. I always assumed that once someone fell in love, that all the hurt and heartbreak of the past would automatically never come to mind ever again and this was happily ever after, especially rn in the 'Honeymoon Phase' of falling in love, but it turns out that the past only triggers and I keep on reminscing about how all my past crushes ended in fall out and they're the ones that decided to stop talking to me. Keep in mind, that they had no clue I even liked them, so I've never felt good enough because they all clearly don't give me a thought at all, like I never even existed. It's like 'good 4 u' and 'love is embarrassing' by Liv combined!

Tbh I don't care anymore. I'm not gonna say it's their loss, because it's not, as it was just silly crushes anyways. Can't hold a grudge for that y'know.
