lyrics

It doesn't make sense
Can't wrap my mind around it
It's not at all what I meant for

I had some fears but
I thought I'd end up with you
But now I'm crying on the floor
Crying on the
Crying on the floor
Crying on the
Crying on the floor

For a minute everything was
Everything was falling into place
Shouldn't have fallen for
Shouldn't have fallen for it
Why do I keep doing this to myself
I get my hopes up
When will they stop getting killed
Shouldn't have fallen for it
Shouldn't have fallen
Shouldn't have fallen for it
Shouldn't have fallen
Shouldn't have fallen for it

I don't wanna be jaded
Just give me time to forget
I pray to God I can find peace

I had some dreams about you
And now they'll never come true
And now I'm crying into my knees

For a minute everything was
Everything was falling into place
Shouldn't have fallen for
Shouldn't have fallen for it
Why do I keep doing this to myself
I get my hopes up
When will they stop getting killed
Shouldn't have fallen for it
Shouldn't have fallen
Shouldn't have fallen for it
Shouldn't have fallen
Shouldn't have fallen for it
Shouldn't have fallen
Shouldn't have fallen for it
Shouldn't have fallen
Shouldn't have fallen for it
