Fingerprints are on the weapon
I have fallen for deception
Not again (cause i gotta have)
Not again with you
I am here in your confession
Will i ever learn my lesson
Not if im (cause i gotta have)
Not if im with you
I do so well when im alone
The truth is all i know
[Chorus]
I am good at falling in love
Not so good at falling out
This songs for you
If your the one,
The one that i can do without
I am great at being in love
Not so great at being out
This songs for you
If your the one
Then love me until the stars run out
But then i call and i am waiting
I hear your voice and i am fading
Not again (cause i gotta have)
Not again with you
So run away were far from home
See this is all i know
[Chorus] x2
I am good at falling in love
Not so good at falling out
This songs for you
If your the one,
The one that i can do without
I am great at being in love
Not so great at being out
This songs for you
If your the one
