作曲 : Paul Jefferies

Ain't nothing that I wouldn't give (Wouldn't give)

All my love and even earthly gifts (Earthly gifts)

To my lover, hope you do outlive me (Do outlive me)

There's no other making life worth living (Life worth living)

I'd be lying if I said (If I said)

There ain't nothing that I should regret (Should regret)

All my secrets now you truly hold (Truly hold)

Thinking I might really be in love

It's been at least 300 days

I got stuck in your maze, huh

I'm all out of places to run

But we'll find our way out

Out of these lonely nights

I guess it's only right

I'm all out of pages to turn

So I'll read this out loud

I'm, I'm falling (I'm falling)

(Can't make it stop) Can't make it stop now

(Evolving) Evolving, yeah

(My broken heart) From my broken heart, yes

I need someone to help (I need)

Tell me I'm falling for someone who saved me from myself

Ain't nothing that I wouldn't quit (Wouldn't quit)

Every drug and every man I've kissed (Man I've kissed)

To the others, hope you can forgive me (Can forgive me)

Found another, and now here's the ending (Here's the ending)

I'd be crying if you left (Left)

Dry my eyes, and now I should confess (Should confess)

Never thought that it'd be more than lust (More than lust)

Never found a man who I could trust

It's been at least 300 days

I got stuck in your maze, huh

I'm all out of places to run

But we'll find our way out

Out of these lonely nights

I guess it's only right

I'm all out of pages to turn

So I'll read this out loud

I'm, I'm falling (I'm falling)

(Can't make it stop) Can't make it stop now

(Evolving) Evolving, yeah

(My broken heart) From my broken heart, yes

I need someone to help

Tell me I'm falling for someone who saved me from myself, myself
