Don't Fall In Love
Speedmarket Avenue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't fall in love, don't fall in love, don't fall
Don't fall in love, don't fall in love, don't fall
I thought we once agreed to stand up tall

Don't break my heart, don't break my heart in two
Don't break my heart, i'll stay away from you
I'll stay away from you, don't break my heart
Listen to your brother, he's sure smart
Listen to the one who knows the art

What did you become away from me?
What are you awaiting endlessly?
Now when you're so sick you're soon to die
(There's) nothing left for you to lose but time

Oh your heart is on the floor
Tainted blood an open sore
You'd better call off uk tour
Oh your heart is on the floor
Tainted blood ask for more
You'd better walk right out that door

You, the constantly ignored
Find a path you can afford
Should have found it way before

Believe, believe, believe
I'm scared but used to be
Convinced by history
Listen to your brother, he's sure smart
Listen to the one who knows the art
