I can't deny it, I keep falling, falling, falling
Further and further into this mess
Can't dig myself out, just gotta go with it
And see where this leads me
My only defense is your flaws
When it all seems too perfect, I start counting
Til I find enough wrong to catch myself for a moment.

The author's comments:
Everyone keeps telling me to stop fighting and just fall, but I can't, not with him.
