Ugly Duckling - Falling Again lyrics

rate me

I can't help falling again here I go, and I know

I can't help falling again here I go, and I know

I said I wasn't gonna do it and then

I went right out and did it, lookin stupid again

And it's no surprise, I've failed before

Just another encore on my way to the floor

Don't ask me why, I can't explain

How I keep spiraling down the drain

I guess it's the way I tend to cope with the pain

To stay oblivious while I soak in the rain

And man, I thought I had it all under control

That no one could know

That I had ever sunken so low

But then I saw a look get locked in your eye

And I knew I was hooked and caught in my lie

So if I have to I'll cry some tears

And tell everybody what they'd like to hear

But my whole world's caving in on me

Trapped and I can barely breathe

As I lay awake at night and watch

The clock and shake and fight the pain

And try in vain to stop when I know

[Chorus:]

I can't help falling again, there I go

Saying it's the last time when I know

I'll just keep falling again, no control

So I'm reaching up to you cause I know

I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know, I know

It's another case of deja vu

While you wait around hoping my mistakes are through

I just tell myself that it's no big deal

And never stop to think how it makes you feel

As I'm lookin for a quick fix to restore my fitness

I'm listless and can't make any commitments

No ability to stayed relaxed

I spent fast, now I'm paying the tax

Plus I've got an itch that I just can't scratch

When you slip through the cracks it's hard to come back

But still I keep trying to get on my feet

Everybody's sure that I'm in too deep

And please, I really wish the rumors would stop

The things people tend to say and do when they talk

So loose and free and accusingly

I think of how it used to be

As I lay awake at night and watch

The clock and shake and fight the pain

And try in vain to stop when I know

[Chorus x2]

I can't help falling again here I go, and I know

I can't help falling again here I go, and I know

I can't help falling again here I go, and I know
