Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
It only hurts this much right now
That's what I was thinking the whole time
Breathe in, breathe through
Breathe deep, breathe out
I'll be getting over you my whole life
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You know how scared I am of elevators
Never trusted it
If it rises fast, it can't last
[Chorus]
Uh-oh, I'm falling in love
Oh, no, I'm falling in love again
Oh, I'm falling in love
I thought the plane was going down
How'd you turn it right around?
[Verse 2]
It only feels this raw right now
Lost in the labyrinth of my mind (My mind)
Break out, break free
Break through, break down
You would break your back to make me break a smile
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You know how much I hate
That everybody just expects me to bounce back
Just like that
[Chorus]
Uh-oh, I'm falling in love
Oh, no, I'm falling in love again
Oh, I'm falling in love
I thought the plane was going down
How'd you turn it right around?
[Chorus]
Uh-oh, I'm falling in love
Oh, no, I'm falling in love again
Oh, I'm falling in love
I thought the plane was going down
How'd you turn it right around?
[Chorus]
Uh-oh, I'm falling in love
Oh, no, I'm falling in love again
Oh, I'm falling in love
I thought the plane was going down
How'd you turn it right around?
[Chorus]
Uh-oh, I'm falling in love
Oh, no, I'm falling in love again
Oh, I'm falling in love
I thought the plane was going down
How'd you turn it right around?
