Pixie Lott-The Fall/Turn It Up

Lyrics:

I know you can't stay
So i won't be waiting
Anticipating for the fall
We had our time baby
so i won't be waiting, Anticipating for the ca-a-all

Baby, it's over
we both know, lets go forward
i love you but in a different way
i love you, forever

now that we've come to the end of our story,
and i know its gunna be hard for me,
might hurt some, might get too much
but i gotta let it be
as the world turns around and we go different places
new things new dreams new faces,
what a shake up, when we break up
but we keep the memories

I know you can't stay
so i wont be waiting, anticipating for the fall
we had our time baby
so i wont be waiting
anticiptaing for the call

turn it up turn it up
for the people that say
were moving and we'll be okay
turn it up turn it up
for the people that say
were moving and we'll be okay

maybe? its better, and i want you to be happy,
sometimes people find it so hard just to say goodbye,
it aint easy the more and the more you try,
so they'l be cheating be deciveing,
but not me and my boy

we understand that were friends and it just aint working,
no point in the constant fighting,
so we'l be grown ups
for a minute
and admit were just in it

I know you can't stay
so i wont be waiting, anticipating for the fall
we had our time baby
so i wont be waiting
anticiptaing for the call

turn it up turn it up
for the people that say
were moving and we'll be okay
turn it up turn it up
for the people that say
were moving and we'll be okay,

i might lose my mind for a while
but i'll be fine
have you heard this thing that heals and its called time
clock can tick away
happy will fall in place
and though my heart will break a new me,
will fill the space

I know you can't stay
so i wont be waiting, anticipating for the fall
we had our time baby
so i wont be waiting
anticiptaing for the call

turn it up turn it up
for the people that say
were moving and we'll be okay
turn it up turn it up
for the people that say
were moving and we'll be okayCopyright © 1995-2009 Jone Johnson Lewis. All Rights Reserved.
