Don't Fall For Me

don't fall for me
I'm not the girl you think I happen to be
I choose to be alone
for reasons unknown
I'm a child of the night
nothing I do is ever considered right
could be out in the sun
but only in darkness do I have any fun
don't beg
don't plead
loving me will only make you bleed
ask all the rest
loving me is not what's best
I'm not a damsel in distress
I have fallen for sweet words before, I must confess
but now I'm cold and deaf to words whispered through prison bars
I'm not a song bird to be caged
cage me and you will feel my wrath and rage
I'm a beast of the night
I don't belong in the spotlight
broken I won't be any more
I've let boys close before
and all I got was left broken, bruised, bleeding and sore
I am a fire that can't be controlled
a girl who isn't meant to be the one to hold
my heart is black and cold
I've warned you, you have been told
I don't hate me
I hate how mean I can be
I'll leave before you ever get a chance to
I'll leave you before you even realize that's what I plan to do
