2ND VERSE
The patterns all look the same on these hotel walls
Where did I fall, where did I fall?
I get used to the view by the end of the day
Then I’m on my way, then I’m on my way

I know I gotta get it off my mind
And it don’t come out right, it don’t come out right
I’d say nothing but I promised I, I would never try
I would never try, to love you

Cause it’s easy, to love you
