[Jade]
There's still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
There's still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
It's still a little hard to say what's going on

[Perrie]
There's still a little bit of your ghost, your witness
There's still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day that I can't say what's going on

[Perrie]
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

[Leigh-Anne]
There's still a little bit of your song in my ear
There's still a little bit of your words I long to hear

[Jesy]
You step a little closer to me
So close I can't see what's going on
Whoa

[All]
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
So come on courage
Teach me to be shy
Cause it's not hard to fall
When you know that you just don't know

[Jade]
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie

[Perrie leading]
So come on courage
Teach me to be shy
Cause it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

[All]
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage
Teach me to be shy
Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't want to scare him
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose

[Perrie]
It's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball
