I Fall Every Time

I told myself, I learned my lesson

I say your name then bite my tongue

I built my walls up high for protection

But they come down when you show up

I've been strong for so long now

Playing safe, staying in line

But every promise I make myself

Disappears when I see your eyes

I know the risk, I know the cost

I know how this could end

But my heart doesn't care at all

It just falls again

I fall every time

Every time you get close to me

I fall every time

Like I forget who I'm supposed to be

I know better, I know the signs

I know how this love could break me

But I fall every time

You look at me

I've walked away a thousand nights

Said this is it, said I'm done

But one smile from the other side

And I'm already running back again

I hear your voice, I lose control

Like gravity pulling me in

I don't even fight it anymore

I just let it win

I swear I'll keep my distance

I swear I'll draw the line

But every rule I make for love

Breaks every time

I fall every time

Every time you get close to me

I fall every time

Like I forget who I'm supposed to be

I know better, I know the signs

I know how this love could break me

But I fall every time

You look at me

Maybe this isn't safe

Maybe this isn't smart

But I'd rather feel you break my heart

Than never feel you at all

So here I am again

I fall every time

Even when I say I won't

I fall every time

Even when I know I shouldn't

I can't run, I can't hide

But loving you keeps chasing me

I fall every time

You look at me

Every time

Yeah
