You caught my eyes in our English class
You told me secrets, said “she’ll never understand”
We talk like it’s something innocent
But every word feels like I’m gonna face judgement
And I’ll laugh it off and pretend it’s fine
But your hand brushed mine one too many times
You’ve got a girl, she’s waiting home
While you’re at mine
It’s a fine line your walking on
Something in me knows this is wrong
But it’s the way you look at me
I don’t wanna be the reason hearts break
Don’t wanna destroy a love i had no business to break
We’re dancing too close, but I’m not the one you choose
but you almost felt like mine
And it hurts to breathe when I remember that
But it feels too good and
I can’t cross that line this time
We drive too slow down dead-end streets
Your playlist full of songs that are way too deep
for us to be listening to
You say, “She don’t get me like you do,”
that’s the part that cuts me through
And
I tell you, “stop,” but you don’t hear
You’re backseat driving and still I can’t steer
We’re young and dumb
But I can’t fall if you’re falling too
Cause this isn’t the truth
Feels like you play with my heart on borrowed time
keep pretending like its fine by me
But everything is to much for me
It’s way too much for me
I don’t wanna be the reason hearts break
Don’t wanna destroy a love i had no business to break
We’re dancing too close, but I’m not the one you choose
you’re hers but you almost felt like mine
And it hurts to breathe when I remember how
It feels too good
But
Maybe in another year
You’d be free
But now we’re stuck here in the same mud
And you’ll keep it from her
Cause losing us would hurt to much for you
But I can’t be the one to break her heart
When all this falls apart
I don’t wanna be the reason hearts break
I Don’t wanna be the one to break a love I had no business in
And someday when we’ve both moved on
I’ll still remember the car rides of sad songs
You’re not mine but for one small time
You almost felt like mine

The verse here is exceptional. Was little punctuation an artistic choice? Because it works extremely well here

Yeah it’s was actually

Good choice, don’t let the reader breathe haha they don’t need to. This is really cool because its honest like prose but it’s stylistically careful like poetry

I kinda wanted to mimic how I felt as a teenager when I was in difficult relationships. They’d always seem way more straggling than they actually were.
