Falling Down

Selena Gomez · For You [2014]

You walk and talk

Like you're some new sensation

You move in circles

You don't need an invitation

You spend your money

You can't get no satisfaction

You play it right so you can get the right reaction



It won't be long, my darling

Pick up the phone, nobody's on it

Where are your friends now, baby?

All of the ones supposed to be there for



You (you)

When you're falling down

The world starts spinning out

You (you)

When you're falling down

Now it's not all about

You (you)

When you're falling down

You know I'll be around

When you're falling down, falling down



What's out of place when you look into the mirror?

The truth is blurry but the lies are getting clearer

Your eyes are fixed, your smile is so elastic

You gave me roses but they're all just made of plastic



It won't be long, my darling

Pick up the phone, nobody's on it

Where are your friends now, baby?

All of the ones supposed to be there for



You (you)

When you're falling down

The world starts spinning out

You (you)

When you're falling down

Now it's not all about

You (you)

When you're falling down

You know I'll be around

When you're falling down, falling down



(Smile for the camera, everybody's looking at ya)

(Smile for the camera, cause they're all about to trash ya)

(Smile for the camera, camera, camera, smile for the camera

Who's gonna catch ya?)



You (you)

You (you)

When you're falling down

The world starts spinning out

You (you)

When you're falling down

Now it's not all about

You (you)

When you're falling down

You know I'll be around

When you're falling down, falling down



(Smile for the camera, everybody's looking at ya)

(Smile for the camera, cause they're all about to trash ya)
