Crumble Lyrics


If you say that it’s true
But you don’t know what to do
And it’s only because you love me

If you tell me that you’re sure
And it can’t wait anymore
And it’s only because you love me

I… I’m gonna crumble
I… I’m gonna crumble

If you say it like that I’ll die
If you say it like that I’ll probably cry
If you say it like that and don’t want to take it back
I’m gonna crumble

You say don’t misread your words
Sometimes they’re gonna hurt
And it’s only because you love me

If you say you’re well aware
Of that but you don’t care
And it’s only because you love me

I… I’m gonna crumble
I… I’m gonna crumble

If you say it like that I’ll die
If you say it like that I’ll probably cry
If you say it like that and don’t want to take it back
I’m gonna crumble

Get yourself ready to catch what you can of me
Get yourself ready to pick me up
Get yourself ready to catch what you can of me
Get yourself ready to pick me up

If you say it without intention
You just thought that you should mention
And it’s only because you love me

And you want to see me soon
Under less a children’s moon
And it’s only because you love me

I… I’m gonna crumble
I… I’m gonna crumble

If you say it like that I’ll die
If you say it like that I’ll probably cry
If you say it like that and don’t want to take it back
I’m gonna crumble

Get yourself ready to catch what you can of me
Get yourself ready to pick me up
Get yourself ready to catch what you can of me
Get yourself ready to pick me up
