i don’t wanna fall in love, ‘cause i don’t believe that i deserve it

there’s always one more pound to lose, i’m not worthy if i didn’t earn it

i don’t wanna fall in love, ‘cause who could love me back on purpose?

always too much, i’m never enough, never your person. — character a

you don’t wanna fall in love, ‘cause you don’t believe that you deserve it

you’re wearing all your flaws like shoes, it’s stupid ‘cause baby you’re perfect

you don’t wanna fall in love, ‘cause you’re scared of what lies under the surface

always too much, and never enough, but baby you’re worth it. — character b

guess i’ll never be ready, guess i’ll never be good

we will never grow steady, i don’t think that we should

guess i’ll never be ready

guess i’ll never be, where i oughta be

i’ll always wanna be more, so i will never be yours. — character a

will you ever be ready, babe you’re already good

i could help you be steady, ‘cause i think that we should

will you ever be ready

‘cause you’re everything, everything to me

grew up on a line as a fighter

believing they’re right and you’ll die here

thinking it’s still the same as it always was

but i cried for nights and days

and if there isn’t one then i’ll make a way

pledge my allegiance to freedom through violence. — character b

moving all my faith to the bad news

only being good cause i have to

if these walls could talk, they’d tell me to leave

so young, so much to fear

are you there god? save me, i hate it here

you cinephile in black and white

all those plot twists and dynamite

mr. steal your girl, then make her cry

you said i’m the love of your life. — character b

“i’ll never leave,” “never mind”

our field of dreams engulfed in fire

your arson’s match, your somber eyes

And i’ll still see it until i die

and it’s not like i’m still not over you

it’s so strange, this i never do

not that i miss you, i don’t

sometimes, i just can’t believe

you happened. — character b

it’s not like i’d ever change a thing

‘cause i’m right here where i’m meant to be

not that i’d call you, i won’t

sometimes, i just can’t believe

you were the best but you were the worst

as sick as it sounds, i loved you first

i was a dick, it is what it is

a habit to kick, the age-old curse. — character b

i tend to laugh whenever i’m sad

i stare at the crash, it actually works

making amends, this shit never ends

i’m wrong again, wrong again. — character a

us.

and if history’s clear, someone always ends up in ruins

and what seemed like fate becomes “what the hell was i doin’?”

babylon lovers hangin’ lifetimes on a vine

do you miss mine? — character b

and if history’s clear, the flames always end up in ashes

and what seemed like fate, give it ten months and you’ll be past it

babylon lovers hangin’ missed calls on the line

between which personality i’ll use in my fake scenario.

reading 500+ pages reading 500+ pages of slow burn of educational

character b : all this time,

we always walked a very thin line.

character b : you didn’t even hear me out,

you never gave a warning sign.

character a : i gave so many signs.

character b : all this time,

i never learned to read your mind.

character b : i couldn’t turn things around.

character a : you never turned things around.

character b : ‘cause you never gave a warning sign.

character a : i gave so many signs.

the last time

character a : this is the last time you tell me i’ve got it wrong.

character b : this is the last time i say it’s been you all along.

character a : this is the last time i let you in my door.

i know you thought it was just us

i didn’t think you’d fall in love

you’re just a warm body to hold

at night when i’m feelin’ all alone. — character a

you don’t need me

as much as i need you

as much as i need you

take it or leave it

‘cause you know that’s the truth

‘cause you know that’s the truth. — character b

apple cider

we both like apple cider [character a × character b]

but your hair be smelling like fruit punch [character c]

and i don’t even like you that much

childhood friends » strangers » enemies » lovers

angst (why do they hate each other so much? they used to be inseparable)

tension (almost crossing the line between hate and the relationship they used to have)

it has to be slow burn (it’s been years since they last saw each other they can’t fall in love that fast)

no matter how much they hate each other, [character b] somehow still remembers the little details about [character a] (“you never did like cherries on ice cream, don’t you?” “you still remember that?”)

in denial (“we used to be close and that’s that. there’s no way i can feel love towards them.”)

angry love confession (the only correct way to confess)

fluff ending (reminiscing, making new memories, smut?)

you said, “forever,” and i almost bought it

i miss fightin’ in your old apartment

breakin’ dishes when you’re disappointed

i still love you, i promise. — character a

nothin’ happened in the way i wanted

every corner of this house is haunted

and i know you said that we’re not talkin’

but i miss you, i’m sorry. — character b

mess it up

did i fall out of line when i called you?

when i told you “i’m fine”

you were lied to (i told you i’m lying)

how could i think that all that i gave you was enough?

‘cause every time i get too close, i just go mess it up. — character a

i keep thinking maybe if you let me back in

we can make it better, breaking every habit

pull myself together, you could watch it happen
