You make it hard enough to hate you
That when you tell me I should just grow up
I keep on thinking I should thank you
For stepping up and calling my bluff
I, I, I
I think I'd know if I were falling
Wish I could tell you what I'm thinking of
I really don't know what to call it
This is anything but falling in love
Ok, here we go
Head in the clouds, and I'm down for a minute
But I know better than to believe, whoa
I could be running from love for a living
But I think that it's running from me
Frozen in time, no reason or rhyme
But maybe a lack of sense is all that I need, whoa
Making it up, and I rush through the gimmick
Just quit the conversation and tell me please
I wanted caricatures of romance
You gave me sunset on a plastic sky
I bet on pennies that there's no chance
You're thinking about passing me by
I, I, I
It's on your face and in the way that
You tear my heart out with a velvet glove
As if I even need to say that
This is anything but falling in love
Anything but falling in love
Anything but falling, anything but falling in
Anything but falling, anything but falling in
Anything but falling, anything but falling in
Anything but falling, anything but falling in love
Look in my eyes, and despise what they're saying
But you can't make yourself look away
Don't want your years, or your tear-filled displaying
But maybe I just want your today
I can be anything I want to
But I'm always a wannabe, whoa
Didn't think that I needed perfect
Til perfect sat in front of me
Oh, here we go again
It's so upsetting when you find that
Your daydreams wrapped themselves around your wrists
And all I wanted was a sign that
You shouldn't be the top of my list
I, I, I
It's like you're always on my mind
It's like I can't live without the push and shove
It seems I keep being reminded
This is anything but falling in love
Anything but falling in love
Anything but falling, anything but falling in
Anything but falling, anything but falling in
Anything but falling, anything but falling in
Anything but falling, anything but falling in love
Don't know what the word is, don't know what to call it
This is anything but falling, anything but falling, and I
Don't know what the point is, don't know how to stop it
This is anything but falling, anything but falling, no I
Don't want you to keep my picture in your wallet
This is anything but falling, anything but falling, darling
Maybe I'm delaying, tell me that I'm stalling, but it's
Anything but falling, anything but falling, no I
Don't know what the word is, don't know what to call it
This is anything but falling, anything but falling, and I
Don't know what the point is, don't know how to stop it
This is anything but falling, anything but falling, and I
Couldn't even think it, god, it's so appalling
This is anything but falling, anything but falling, and I
Don't know if I think that anything could top it
This is anything but falling, anything but falling in love
Anything but falling, anything but falling in
Anything but falling, anything but falling in
Anything but falling, anything but falling in
Anything but falling, anything but falling in
Anything but falling, anything but falling in
Anything but falling, anything but falling in
Anything but falling, anything but falling in love
