I Spend, I Fall

[Verse 1]
I click buy when the afternoon sags,
bright little boxes, quick little flags.
I taste the salt, then I reach for more,
like one more bite could settle the score.
You say my name and I lean too far,
turn every maybe into a vow.
I know the bargain, I know the cost—
still chase the rush when the center feels lost.

[Pre-Chorus]
A sweet yes, a fast yes,
a hand before thought can catch it.

[Chorus]
I spend, I fall, I fill, I flee,
then ask what’s left that belongs to me.
A flash, a kiss, another taste—
I feed the ache and call it a day.
I spend, I fall, I fill, I flee,
I want the want to set me free.

[Verse 2]
The parcel lands; I tear it wide,
then feel that thinness tucked inside.
Your laugh goes warm, your answer turns slow,
I make a whole world from one small glow.
I’m not beyond it, not cured, not clean;
I catch the pattern between the beats.

[Bridge]
If I can pause when the wanting calls,
maybe the hunger won’t name me at all.

[Final Chorus]
I spend, I fall, I fill, I flee,
then ask what’s left that belongs to me.
A flash, a kiss, another taste—
I feed the ache, but I can choose what stays.
