Lyrics

"Downfall" written by Jasmine Howie

Verse:

I loved you from the day we met about ten years ago,
You had this thugish ruggish look not like the typical,
Guy I would go for on an average ordinary day,
To my surprise here comes cloud nine and I drifted away.
Your walk,
Your talk,
Your smooth street swag had me so clumsy baby.
I had to take a few steps back to catch myself oh baby.
Cause when you looked into my eyes, you had me mesmerized.
A sweet beginning to an ending I met a few times before.

Chorus/Hook:

I tried to fall back but went,
As far as changing my number and,
I called you wit it, cause you're my downfall.
Even though I still love you, and there's nothing I wouldn't do for you,
When it's all said and done, baby you're my downfall.

I tried to keep our love alive it got so difficult,
Although I loved you with my heart and soul it wasn't mutual,
Since the day you left I had to start over brand new,
Finding the best of me was hard cause I thought it included you.
My heart was in a million pieces baby,
Sleepless nights and restless days drove me crazy,
Broken promises, full of drama and I couldn't tell your lies from the truth.
The hardest thing I had to do in my life,
Accept the fact I wouldn't be your wife,
So no diamond ring, from the magazine,
I should have seen this coming from the start.


Chorus/Hook

Bridge:

(Oh) I've shed so many tears, over the years
(Why) did I have to fall so deep in love?

Since you couldn't meet me halfway,
and my love is fading away.
I'm gone, so long.

Chorus/Hook


End adlibs:

I try, all over again, all over again.
All over again, you're my downfall.
