[Intro]
Oh-oh
[Verse 1]
Ain't nothing that I wouldn't give
All my love and even earthly gifts
To my lover, hope you do outlive me
There's no other making life worth living
I'd be lying if I said
There ain't nothing that I should regret
All my secrets, now you truly hold
Thinking I might really be in love
[Pre-Chorus]
It's been at least three hundred days
I got stuck in your maze, oh
I'm all out of places to run
But we'll find our way out
Out all these lonely nights
I guess it's only right
I'm all out of pages to turn
So I'll read this out loud
[Chorus]
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, yeah)
I need (I need) someone to help
Tell me I'm falling for someone who saved me from myself
[Verse 2]
Ain't nothing that I wouldn't quit
Every drug and every man I've kissed
To the others, hope you can forgive me
Found another and now, here's the ending
I'd be crying if you left
Dry my eyes and now I should confess
Never thought that it'd be more than lust
Never found a man who I could trust
[Pre-Chorus]
It's been at least three hundred days
I got stuck in your maze, oh
I'm all out of places to run
But we'll find a way out
And all these lonely nights
I guess it's only right
I'm all out of pages to turn
So I'll read this out loud
[Chorus]
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 (I need) someone to help
Tell me I'm falling for someone who saved me from myself, myself
