I love the turn in the 4th verse... I hope YOU don't fall in love with ME.

After exposing all of his fears of commitment he realizes he is falling for her and now must face the realization she may return the favor. You can feel the pain of a man afraid of commitment in this song. He fumbles and worries and once he finally gets the confidence to face her, well it was too late. She is gone. And he knows he missed his shot.

Very well done.

i like yours the best. going through the same couldn'y have explained it better.
