Give me time to care
The moment's here for us to share
Still my heart is not always there
What more can I say to you?
Could I lie to you?
I'm just too weak to face the truth
Now I know, I should make a move
What more can I say?
How can I fall? How can I fall?
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons at all
When all faith is gone
I fight myself to carry on
Yet I know of the harm I do
What more can I say to you?
Now I hold this line
I know the choice to leave is mine
I can't help what I feel inside
What more can I say?
How can I fall? How can I fall? (How can I fall?)
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons at all
I'll follow through, I'll say I do
When the time is far more right for you
I'll make that move and when I do
Will I doubt again the way I do?
How can I fall? How can I fall? (How can I fall?)
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons at all
How can I fall? How can I fall? (How can I fall?)
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons
How can I fall? How can I fall? (How can I fall?)
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons
Just won't give me reasons
Just won't give me reasons at all
How can I fall? I fall, I fall
How can I fall for you?
How can I fall? How can I fall? (How can I fall?)
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons
