I Dared You

I don't know what to think
When I have too much on my mind
I've been left behind; More than once
Why is this any different?
Because the softer you are
The harder you fall?
I should have been the one to stall
To dig my heels in
To have taken no for an answer
In the first place
Intrigue increased the interest
Or maybe the interest was the intrigue
I dared you and you didn't jump
And you weren't mean enough
To push me in
And you were kind enough
To pull me out
Maybe I'm cursed
Because the town I was born in
Is grudgingly cursed
Because every time
I try to move forwards
I end up moving backwards
