Falling Lyrics

I have no other life
And I gave fast into you
Wonder where you are now
And why don't you care
And I always think of
All the things that you've seen now

If you see me falling
Will you lend a hand
If you hear me calling
Will you understand
If you see me falling
Will you lend a hand
If you hear me calling
I'll understand

Ooh, I've waited my whole life for you
All the things you do are true
I've tried so hard
And all I give was
All I see is you and me
I've tried so hard
And all I have dear is

If you see me falling
Will you lend a hand
And if you hear me calling
I'm just so lost without you

Soon now
Wait for
The whole world
Will be there with you darling

If you see me falling
Will you lend a hand
If you hear me calling
Will you understand
If you see me falling
Will you lend a hand
If you hear me calling
Will you understand

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Beautiful song...I think this is about someone who left him behind, and he is thinking about the person:

"I have no other life And I gave fast into you Wonder where you are now And why don't you care And I always think of All the things that you've seen now "

And then, he is wondering if that person still cares enough to help if they passed him on the street and he needed their help, or if they've completely forgotten and really, honestly could care less....a very poignant song, expressive of emotion...
