Fall Back Lyrics

I'm a house made of glass when it's hailing

I'm a plane when the engines are failing

Skyfall into stormy seas

You say you don't want that for me

I'm the air that you've started exhaling

I'm a train on the verge of derailing

I'm about to soar off the tracks

But I can't ever admit that

So why

Why do I bend the truth, say I'm done with

You lie

I'd stop if I could but that's what I'm wired to

Do I

Hate myself or hate the place my heart is at

But I couldn't ever say that, so I fall back

I could say that love you and mean it

But you'll twist up my words 'til I'm bleeding

Why am I so terrified

Of seeing myself through your eyes

Now, I'm not perfect, but damnit, I'm healing

But all this head over heart is deceiving

War between body and soul

But you're all that I've ever known

So, baby, can you tell me why

Why do I bend the truth, say I'm done with

You lie

I'd stop if I could but that's what I'm wired to

Do I

Hate myself or hate the place my heart is at

But I couldn't ever say that, so I fall back

So why

Why do I mend the wound, stitch it up if

You lie

Like you don't give a fuck, 'cause that's what you're wired to

Do I

Want you or just want the way that you attach

'Cause I can't love someone like that

But I fall back
