I'm a Bad Bad Person (Baby I Know)

Philophobia.The fear of falling in love. The word sits just right in my mouth, tight and painful.
When I come home, she kisses the word off my lips, and I tell myself it’s nothing.

(Warning: homophobia, homophobic slurs, terminal illness)

Song lyrics and title by Of Monsters and Men, "Love Love Love".
