Fallin'

I thought I was livin’ life in the right lane

but honest to a fault was not enough

I owe you an explanation

for how I got myself into this rut

scared the ceiling’s too low, can’t stand up and run

earthquake save me and bring this building to dust

baby can’t you see me fallin, fallin

going down despite your love

baby can’t you see me fallin, fallin

sold my soul and time is up

beat, broke, tired before you met me

suffered through the perils of my youth

he offered me a choice, couldn’t say no

now he’ll come collect upon the truth

my heart ain’t part of the deal, and love is the proof

so the only thing I have left, babe, I give to you

baby can’t you see me fallin, fallin

going down despite your love

baby can’t you see me fallin, fallin

sold my soul and time is up

I’ve come to ask you…

is this the way you want to go?

cut and run now?

or will you hold out?

I need the answer

can’t read the writing on the wall

is this the last call

of all I fought for?

baby can’t you see me fallin, fallin

going down despite your love

baby can’t you see me fallin, fallin

sold my soul and time is up
