[Verse 1]
Look up from the screen
And look back down to check the clock again
It's about to be too late now
To try to even get up out of bed
I know responsibilities bigger than me
Wait outside my door
And if I wanna keep surviving
Better get up now and try to earn some more
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know why I always try to hide it
Oh, I can't fight it any more than you can
'Cause I'm only human
And I wanna live without it
But I'm so tired
I can barely stand it
In fact, I can't stand it
[Chorus]
So catch me, I'm fallin'
Catch me, I'm fallin' down
Won't you catch me?
I'm fallin' down, again
[Verse 2]
Pace around in circles
Try to leave my heartache at the door
Gotta think about my future
While the past creeps into everything I know (Uh, oh-oh, ooh)
If I stay wherе I start, but lead with my heart
At least I'll grow (Yеah)
If I wanna get better
I gotta be better, I know
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know why (Don't know why) I always try to hide it
Oh, I can't fight it any more than you can
Because I'm only human (Human)
And I wanna live without it (Without it)
But I'm so tired
I can barely stand it
In fact, I can't stand it
[Chorus]
So catch me, I'm fallin'
Catch me, I'm fallin' down
Won't you catch me?
I'm fallin' down, again
[Bridge]
Focus on blessings and lessons
Focus on blessings and lessons, yeah
Won't you focus on blessings and lessons? (Lessons, blessings and lessons)
Focus on blessings and lessons, yeah
[Chorus]
Catch me (Catch me), I'm fallin' (Mm, mm)
Catch me, I'm fallin' down (Down, down)
Won't you catch me?
I'm fallin' down, again
Again and again and again and again and again
[Outro]
Oh, catch me, I'm fallin'
Nowhere to run to, won't you catch me?
I'm fallin' down
Mother, catch me
I'm fallin' down, again
