Intro (Doug Middlebrook):

Here's the thing: You're in love with a version of a person that you've created in your head, but you are prying to but cannot fix.
Uh, the only thing you can fix is yourself.
I love you. This has gone on way too long. Enough is enough.
I'm two blocks away. I'm coming over.

First Verse:

Painted a picture. I thought I knew you well.
I got a habit of seeing what isn't there.
Caught in the moment, tangled up in your sheets.
Well, you broke my heart. I said you only wanted half of me.
My imagination's too creative.
They see demon, I see angel, angel, angel. (Angel, angel)
We're lovin' halo, wingless angel.

Chorus:

Falling, falling, but I never thought you'd leave me.
Falling, falling, needed something to believe in, oh.
I thought that you were the one, but it was all in my head!
It was all in my head.
(Skrrt, skrrt)
Yeah, look at you. Boy, I invented you.
Your Gucci tennis shoes runnin' from your issues.
Gotta hook-up from the high. (From the high, from the high)
I figure we can work it out, mhmm.

Second Verse:

Painted a picture; I thought I drew you well.
I had a vision of seeing what isn't there.
Caught in the moment, tangled up in your sheets.
Well, you broke my heart. Said you only wanted half of me.
My imagination's too creative.
They see Cain and I see Abel, Abel, Abel. (Abel, Abel, Abel)
I know you're able, pullin' an Abel.

Chorus:

Falling, falling, but I never thought you'd leave me.
Falling, falling, needed something to believe in, oh.
Mhmm, thought that you were the one, but it was all in my head!
It was all in my head.
(Skrrt, skrrt)
Yeah, look at you. Boy, I invented you.
Your Gucci tennis shoes runnin' from your issues.
Gotta hook-up from the high. (From the high, from the high)
I figure we can work it out, mhmm.

Third Verse:

Runnin' through the grover. Boy, your eye's invitin'.
Everything you want me, do everything you aren't.
I saw your potential without seein' credentials (-Entials)
Maybe that's the issue. (Yeah, yeah)
Said maybe that's the issue, yeah.
Can't hold that shit against you, yeah.
If I did it, don't accept it.
Found you with somebody else, you. (You, you, you...)
Found you with somebody else, you. (You, you, you...)
Found you with somebody else, you.
