Fallin’ Somewhere Else by Melodie Yvonne

I miss you every day, though, you’re missin’ someone else
I’ve been tryin’ not to feel this, but it’s all that I have felt
You turn your icy blues at me and all of me just melts
I’m just tryin’ to stop from fallin’ ‘cause you’re fallin’ somewhere else

I’ve gotten way too close to someone that I just can’t keep
I wish I could just stop this and just take control of me
We were meant for somethin’, but we just weren’t meant to be
Still I crumble into pieces every time I watch you leave

I love you more each day, though, you’re just lovin’ someone else
I’m tryin’ not to feel this, but you’re all that I have felt
I miss you every day, though, you’re just missin’ someone else
All this unrequited bullshit reigns supreme in my own hell

I’m tryin’ to stop from fallin’ ‘cause you’re fallin’ somewhere else
I gave you all my love and you just went and passed it out
I’m tryin’ to forgive you, but I can’t forgive myself
For another day of wantin’ what belongs to someone else

I miss you every day, though, you’re just missin’ someone else
I’m tryin’ not to feel this, but you’re all that I have felt
I never wanted in and now I’m fucked and can’t get out
I’m just tryin’ to stop from fallin’ ‘cause you’re fallin’ somewhere else
