lyrics

Like falling down a flight of stairs, I fell for you
I'm paralyzed, you don't even care what you put me through
Told me sweet lies to appease me, started this fire beneath me
Wondering why I let you deceive me, you said:

There's nothing more that I can do
I'm sorry but there's no saving you
There's nothing more that I can say
You fell in love, that was your mistake

You led me on, you led me off this ledge of hope
Please tell me what I have done wrong, or I'll never know
Told me never to follow, the hardest pill I've had to swallow
Wondering what things will be like tomorrow, 'cause you said:

There's nothing more that I can do
I'm sorry but there's no saving you
There's nothing more that I can say
You fell in love, that was your mistake

It's hard to be trusting of anyone, I think
I just fell in love too easily
But not anymore since I was utterly floored by
All those things that you said to me, you said:

There's nothing more that I can do
I'm sorry but there's no saving you
There's nothing more that I can say
You fell in love, that was your mistake

There's nothing more that I can do
I'm sorry but there's no saving you
There's nothing more that I can say
You fell in love, that was your mistake
