Break Your Fall

(album: The United States vs. Billie Holiday - 2021)

It gets worse with time
Oh, it's a long way down from here
They normally don't stay with me
Once the morning light appears
I don't have much to give, but here is my heart
And I pray it breaks your fall
Breaks your fall

I should warn ya, this will probably hurt like hell
I don't do love or lovers very well
I fade like flowers on days like this
It's amazing you made it past that first kiss
I don't have much to bring, you've seen it all
And I pray it breaks your fall
Breaks your fall

'Cause there's no remedy for staying next to me
The pain's contagious
I warned ya so I'll blame ya
If you stay, it's your loss
Probably say it's my fault, and it is
But it is what it is, mm

Oh, it gets worse with time
It's a long way down from here
They normally don't stay with me
No, they normally don't stay with me
When morning light comes near
I don't have much to give, but here is my heart
And I pray it breaks your fall
Breaks your fall
