Fallin'
Regine Velasquez Lyrics

I'm afraid to fly
I have a fear of flying which makes me feel anxious and nervous.

And I don't know why
I can't explain why I have this fear, even though logically I know it's safe.

I'm jealous of the people who
I feel envious of those who are not afraid because they can experience the joy of flying without any hesitation.

Are not afraid to die
I wonder if their lack of fear is because they are at peace with the possibility of death.

It's just that I recall
This fear stems from a past experience that has stayed with me till now.

Back when I was small
This experience happened when I was young and perhaps more vulnerable to the world.

Someone promised that they'd catch
Someone gave me reassurance that I would be protected from harm.

But then they'd let me fall
However, that person failed to live up to their promise and that caused me to fall and feel betrayed.

And now I'm fallin'
This experience has caused me to feel like I'm falling, both physically and emotionally.

Fallin' fast again
This is not the first time I've had this kind of experience, and it's happening again.

Why do I always take a fall
I feel like I always end up in situations where I get hurt, fall down and have to pick myself up again.

When I fall in love
It seems that my tendency to fall down happens more often when it comes to love, relationships and matters of the heart.

You think, by now I've learned
You might expect that I should have learned from my past experiences and not repeat my mistakes again.

Play with fire, you'd get burned
It's a common saying but it's true - if you play with dangerous things, then you might get hurt.

But fire can be oh so warm
Yet, despite the danger, there's something about that warmth and passion that I find hard to resist.

And that's why I return
Even though I know it could lead to heartbreak, I come back again and again because of that feeling.

Turn and walk away
Perhaps the wisest thing to do would be to leave, cut my losses and avoid getting hurt again.

That's what I should do
Logically, I know that's the best course of action but it's difficult to do so when emotions are involved.

My head says go and find the door
My rational side is telling me to leave and find a way out of this situation.

My heart says I'll find you
However, my emotions are telling me to stick around, hoping that things will work out and love will find a way.

Catch me if you can
I'm taking a leap of faith and asking the other person to join me, hoping that they will be there to catch me.

Maybe this time I'll have it all
Despite my past failures, I still hold onto hope that things might work out this time and that I'll finally have everything I need.

It always turns out the same
Unfortunately, experience tells me that things often don't work out the way I hope, and history repeats itself.

Loving someone
Being in a relationship or loving someone is a two-way street, with both parties giving and receiving affection.

Losing myself
However, sometimes in a relationship, one can lose oneself in the other person's needs or desires, forgetting one's own wants and goals.

I only got me to blame
Ultimately, I have to take responsibility for my own actions and decisions, even if love leads me astray or causes me to fall down.

Help me, I'm fallin'
I'm reaching out for help, asking the other person to support me and be there for me when I'm struggling.

Maybe this time I'll have it all
Once again, I'm hoping that things will change and this time, I'll be successful in love.

Maybe I'll make it after all
Despite my doubts and fears, I have some glimmer of hope that I'll make it through this time without falling down, and that love will finally be mine.

Maybe this time I won't fall
I'm determined to stay strong and not give in to my fears and doubts, hoping that this time, I won't fall down again and get hurt.

When I fall in love
Despite the risks and dangers, I still believe in the power of love to transform me and make my life richer and more meaningful.
