Downfall Lyrics by Essenger

After Dark

2019

[Verse 1: Essenger]
I didn't see the signs
Thought I'd found a way out
You caught me with those eyes
I'm thinkin' I should leave now
A couple words won't hurt
“So what're you doin' downtown?”
You tell me how you've been
And now my head won't slow down

[Chorus: Essenger]
I shouldn't stay
But can't help but wonder
I hate the way (I love the way)
That you pull me under
I know I've made mistakes
But this could be my downfall
You could be my downfall
You could be my downfall

[Verse 2: Lexi Norton]
I didn't mean to stare
Couldn't help but notice
A part of me still cares
But it's over and you know this
I shouldn't feel this way
You're fuckin' with my head now
A couple drinks too late
You got me thinking out loud

[Chorus: Lexi Norton, Essenger, both]
I shouldn't stay (I shouldn't stay)
But can't help but wonder
I hate the way (I love the way)
That you pull me under
I know I've made mistakes
But this could be my downfall
You can be my downfall
You could be my downfall

[Bridge: Lexi Norton, Essenger]
Don't try to tell me this is nothing
Say it with your hands on my face
Don't try to tell me this is nothing
I can count the reasons with my eyes closed
Calling out your name
I'll find a reason with my eyes closed
(But I know that you'll come back to haunt me)
And you can be my downfall
(You can be my downfall)

[Chorus: Essenger, Essenger & Lexi Norton]
I shouldn't stay
But can't help but wonder
I hate the way (I love the way)
That you pull me under
I know I've made mistakes
But this could be my downfall
You could be my downfall
