Verse 1:
I'm scared to fall in love in fear of not being good enough;
in fear of causing my still-beating heart
more pain than it already goes through.
But it's so hard not to love you
with your big eyes
that can't seem to stay off mine.
And I know you probably think
I'm a pathetic teenage girl
with dreams no where close within my reach,
but I promise you,
my dreams are pulled by "gravity" to you.

Chorus:
I want to fall so deeply in love with you.
The kind where kisses are daggers
and lies are bandages.
Because even the hurtful things you say
are treatment to me.
You are fascinating, darling,
in all the wrong ways.

Verse 2:
My gravitational pull to you
is stronger than the actual Earth's.
And I really wish you could
determine the constellations from the freckles on my stomach,
and I know you would,
but I'm too scared to wish on that shooting star
that falls through the night too quickly for me to catch.

Chorus (revised):
You want to fall so deeply in love with me.
The kind where kisses are bandages, and lies are daggers.
Because the hurful things I say to you,
kill you.
I am painful, baby,
but in all the right ways.
