Fall For You
Jaci Velasquez Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could never leave you alone
How could you expect me to
You need me more than you know
Hand me all your pain
And I will love you anyway
I will, I will, I will

Even 'till the end of time

Even if two worlds collide
I will never let you fall, I'll fall for you

Impossible to fall from grace
Even if you were to think
That you could ever lose your faith
Give and take it all away
And I will love you everyday
I will, I will, I will

Shout or scream, do anything
If you gotta let it out

Run or hide, I'm on your side
I'll never let you down
