I cannot help myself
Being pulled by your gravity
Falling to the earth
Falling in love
I cannot help myself
Falling in love
It's as easy as falling off the face of the earth
But who would want to...

Fall away from this
Tried to keep away
Tried to tell myself,
That this isn't worth it
anymore,
That loving or liking someone
Didn't exist for me at all
But then you come along

You know that I have spoken a few times,
But I know that I want you
to be mine
And if you don't feel the same
That's fine
