It’s my fault I didn’t hear you
Even when I was listening
I just wanted to be near you
Caught up in wishful thinking
Got lost in a fairy tale
Where we were partners in crime
Let myself get carried away
I’ll be a little more careful next time
And now I see
You wanted something else from me
And if we’re gonna break down, why don’t we start now
You can stop touching me like that
Give this thing a shakedown, doesn’t matter anyhow
You can stop looking at me like that
Ooh, I know how to fall out of love
Ooh, I know how to fall out of love
So run your fingers through my hair
I won’t be susceptible (I’m not scared)
Why don’t we play a round of truth or dare
I’ll cheat, undetectable
Cause now I see
You’ll never give me what I need
And if we’re gonna break down, why don’t we start now
You can stop touching me like that
Give this thing a shakedown, doesn’t matter anyhow
You can stop looking at me like that
I can wipe my memory of you
I’ll forget the way it felt to
Find your hands warm and familiar
I can let you replace me with her
And if we're gonna break down, why don't we start now
Won't you stop touching me like that
Give this thing a shakedown, doesn't matter anyhow
You can stop looking at me like that
Ooh, I know how to fall out of love
Ooh, I know how to fall out of love
Ooh, I know how to fall out of love
Ooh, I know how to fall out of love
