Falling in Love
The Baileys Lyrics

Heard you moved out to South Carolina
I heard that you followed through on your plans and moved to South Carolina.

Just like you always said we would
You had talked about moving to South Carolina for a long time.

Packed your bags in that old 4Runner
You used your old 4Runner to pack up all your belongings.

That I bought you when things were good
I bought you the 4Runner when our relationship was going well.

I'm glad to see the stop sign didn't hit ya
I'm relieved to hear that you made it safely, without any accidents on the road.

Bring you back to your senses
I hope the change of scenery helps you to clear your mind and feel better.

Oh, it waved you gone, goodbye
The stop sign seemed to wave you away, saying goodbye to our past relationship.

I heard you found yourself a brand new man
I heard you started a new relationship with someone else.

Put a rock on your finger
He proposed to you and you got engaged, as evidenced by the ring on your finger.

And he vowed you a second chance
He promised to give you a fresh start and an opportunity for a new beginning together.

Built a house right by the coast
He built a new home for you both with a beautiful ocean view.

That ocean view is beautiful
The view of the ocean from your new home is stunning and peaceful.

But baby, I just want you to know
Despite everything, I still care about you and want you to be happy.

He don't know you like I did
He may love you, but he doesn't understand you intimately like we once did.

Well money talks, but I ain't buyin'
I know that money can be tempting, but I am not willing to compromise my values and my heart for it.

'Cause love's a smoke ring
Love can be elusive and transient like a smoke ring, beautiful but fleeting.

Wrapped around your finger
Love can be powerful and all-consuming, almost like it has control over you.

One second it's a blessing
Love can bring joy and happiness to your life and feel like a blessing.

And the next it's already gone
But, just as quickly and unexpectedly, love can leave your life and feel like it's disappeared.

A broken heart, I'm a walking testimony
I have experienced heartbreak firsthand and can attest to its pain and effects on a person.

My confession is a lesson
This song is my way of speaking my truth and sharing my experiences as a cautionary tale for others.

That I'm pourin' out in this song
I am expressing my emotions and thoughts through this song and hoping that it resonates with someone who may be going through something similar.

I seen your mama walkin' out the county market
I saw your mother out in town, running errands or shopping.

And I thought to ask her how she's been
I considered reaching out to her to see how she has been doing lately.

She said she's missin' ya
Your mother expressed that she misses you and wishes things were different.

And tried to go convincin' ya
She may have even tried to persuade you to reconsider your decisions.

Not to settle down with him
She may not be thrilled with your choice to settle down with this new man.

She ain't wrong, the whole town knows it
Some people in our hometown may agree with your mother and have their own opinions on your new relationship.

You had a bed of roses
Our past relationship had its moments of beauty and happiness, like a bed of roses.

But girl, you couldn't walk that line
But, for some reason, we weren't able to make it work in the end.

You can act like you're doin' fine
You may be putting on a brave face and pretending like everything is going well, but deep down, you may be struggling.

You don't wanna fall in love
After all that we've been through, it's understandable that you may not want to put your heart on the line again.
