Break My Fall
Lana Del Rey · Other Songs - Lana Del Rey
The greatest line in history
"Baby, it's not you, it's me"
What you think I'm dumb, dumb, baby doll?
I'm big enough and bad enough
And I can tell when things get rough
Now nothing that you say can break my fall
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Stop right there
Oh-oh-oh-oh
If you really care
Don't go and blow it all, it's bad enough, baby
I don't wanna hear you sayin', "It's not you, it's me"
If there's blood on my hands, you should let me know
If you're done with a dance, you should let me go, oh
Baby, you said it all
There's nothing you can say to break my fall
Greatest lie in history
"Baby, it's not you, it's me"
Do you really think I'll buy your bullshit, boy?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Give a girl her self-respect
You haven't gone and hurt me yet
But you know that I'll crumble if you call
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Stop right there
Oh-oh-oh-oh
If you really care
Don't go and blow it all, it's bad enough, baby
I don't wanna hear you sayin', "It's not you, it's me"
If there's blood on my hands, you should let me know
If you're done with a dance, you should let me go, oh
Baby, you said it all
There's nothing you can say to break my fall
Break my fall
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm not gonna let you become a martyr
I'm not gonna let you pick up the gun
I'm gonna make this a whole lot harder
Won't make it easy for you to run
I'm not gonna let you become a martyr
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm not gonna let you pick up the gun
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm gonna make this a whole lot harder
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Won't make it easy for you to run
Don't go and blow it all, it's bad enough, baby
I don't wanna hear you sayin', "It's not you, it's me"
If there's blood on my hands, you should let me know
If you're done with a dance, you should let me go, oh
Baby, you said it all
There's nothing you can say to break my fall
Don't go and blow it all, it's bad enough, baby
I don't wanna hear you sayin', "It's not you, it's me"
If there's blood on my hands, you should let me know
If you're done with a dance, you should let me go, oh
Baby, you said it all
There's nothing you can say to break my fall
"Baby, it's not you, it's me"
What you think I'm dumb, dumb, baby doll?
I'm big enough and bad enough
And I can tell when things get rough
Now nothing that you say can break my fall
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Stop right there
Oh-oh-oh-oh
If you really care
Don't go and blow it all, it's bad enough, baby
I don't wanna hear you sayin', "It's not you, it's me"
If there's blood on my hands, you should let me know
If you're done with a dance, you should let me go, oh
Baby, you said it all

Break my fall
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

If you're done with a dance, you should let me go, oh
Baby, you said it all
There's nothing you can say to break my fall
