Fall For You
SYNTHSLAYERS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lights don't fall for you
I know it's hard to believe, but I'm afraid that it's true
Lights don't fall for you
I know it's hard to believe, but I'm afraid that it's true
Lights don't fall for you
I know it's hard to believe, but I'm afraid that it's true
Lights don't fall for you
I know it's hard to believe, but I'm afraid that it's true

I took a flight in Miami, but I have nowhere to stay
I know you're hollering at me, I just have nothing to say
It's been long I know you're bumping my songs
But we cannot get along for the death of us
Woah, if you wait, I'll let you know it's too late
Because I have no intentions with you
Because if I'm being honest, you never were on it
So I'm never mentioning you
Woo, oo, oo, oo
I know that it's hard
I'll never forget you, that's the beautiful part
Your love really left some irreversible scars
I can't even feel good that you're falling apart
And we both said some things that broke both our hearts
Which makes me believe it wasn't good from the start

Lights don't fall for you
I know it's hard to believe, but I'm afraid that it's true
Lights don't fall for you
I know it's hard to believe, but I'm afraid that it's true
Lights don't fall for you
I know it's hard to believe, but I'm afraid that it's true
Lights don't fall for you
I know it's hard to believe, but I'm afraid that it's true

Remember back to the times where I thought I lost you
Write a poem in these songs but it's not a haiku
I'm a rapper but a poet just like I'm Ice Cube
If I saw into our future I know I'd never like you
Like you, like you, I don't wanna fight you
Putting work in these nights, never got to write you
Got a pencil to the pad, lied and said I tried to
I wish I had an ounce every time I cried too
What's the point if our love never got to shine through
Went and took my brush just to paint the walls blue
We couldn't patch all our holes, we did what we could do
Drained, circling the drain by the time we were through
I would never gain, was it ever really worth you?
Selfish intents got me up passed our curfew
Watering our seed for all the times that we grew
Knowing it's not the same, shine the light on the new

Lights don't fall for you
I know it's hard to believe, but I'm afraid that it's true
Lights don't fall for you
I know it's hard to believe, but I'm afraid that it's true
Lights don't fall for you
I know it's hard to believe, but I'm afraid that it's true




Lights don't fall for you
I know it's hard to believe, but I'm afraid that it's true
