[English]

Oh, no

They never said our break would be like this (Mhm, mhm)

Hell-bound without a sound

On my knees, and my heart's on the ground

(Heart's on the ground) Ooh

I'd wait a long time

Cross that road (Cross that road), yeah

For you, girl, I would have gone through the fire (Woah)

Almost lost my soul (Oh)

But you knew, knew somehow, girl, and made me whole (Made me whole)

I said I slept (Slept), fell (Fell)

Ain't doin' too well

Tryna plant my feet on the floor

Can't believe how I'm fallin' (Fallin', oh)

Somehow, girl, you wake me up (Fallin', yeah, baby)

Baby, we ain't been makin' love (Makin' love, yeah)

I just need a taste of your love

I can't believe how I'm fallin' (Fallin')

I just can't keep chasin' love (Fallin', yeah)

I been tryna make it up (No, I been tryin')

I been tryin', I keep fallin' (Fallin')

Girl, I'm fallin' (Yeah)

I'm still fallin' for you, baby (Fallin')

And I don't know what to do, baby (Babe)

You know I'd die for you, baby

Fell in love when you land here

Didn't even know you had wings (Oh)

Fixed the damage that the past did

Fucked it up, I never had shit (Oh)

I loved you until the casket

I just wish we could get past it

Burnin' bridges 'til our paths meet again (Again)

I can't believe how I'm fallin' (Fallin', oh)

Somehow, girl, you wake me up (Fallin', wake me up)

Baby, we ain't been makin' love (Makin' love, no more love)

I just need a taste of your love (Taste of your love)

I can't believe how I'm fallin' (How I'm fallin')

I just can't keep chasin' love (Fallin', I keep chasin')

I keep tryna make it up (Please)

I been tryin', I keep fallin' (Fallin')

Fallin', fallin'

Girl, I'm fallin' (I'm fallin')

I'm still fallin', I'm still fallin' for you, baby

And I don't know what to do, baby (I don't)

You know I'd die for you, baby

Die for you (You)

Here, you, you

I'm gon' live alone (Live alone)

Can't just go ghost on me (Ooh)

Kill my love (Kill my love)

Spiritually (Spiritually)

Killing me, I'm in agony

Got my soul (Let me breathe)

But you knew, knew somehow, girl, you made me whole (Made me whole, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I said I slept (Slept), fell (Fell)

Ain't doin' too well

Tryna plant my feet on the floor

Can't believe how I'm fallin' (Yeah, yeah, fallin', fallin')

Oh (Fallin')

Fallin', fallin' (Fallin')

Girl (Fallin')

Yeah, I did, girl, around

Got me (Fallin', baby)

Yeah, girl, you got me (Fallin', baby)

You got me (Fallin', baby)

(Fallin', baby)

Got my heart on the ground (Baby, fallin')

Got me (Fallin')

Fallin'
