This Love (Will Be Your Downfall) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who are we to be emotional?
Who are we to play with hearts and throw away it all?
Oh, who are we to turn each other's heads?
Who are we to find ourselves in other people's beds?

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I don't like the way I never listen to myself
I feel like I'm on fire, I'm too shy to cry for help
Oh, I don't think you warned me much at all

[Chorus]
This love is be and end-all
This love will be your downfall
This love is be and end-all
This love will be your downfall

[Post-Chorus]
I'm feeling down about this love

[Verse 2]
Who are you to make me feel so good?
Who are we to tell ourselves that we're misunderstood?
Oh, who am I to say I'm always yours?
Who am I to choose the boy that everyone adores?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I don't see a reason why we can't just be apart
Now we're falling on each other like we're always in the dark

Oh, I don't think you know me much at all
All, all, at all

[Chorus]
This love is be and end-all (At all)
This love will be your downfall (At all)
This love is be and end-all (At all)
This love will be your downfall (At all)
This love is be and end-all (At all)
This love will be your downfall (At all)

[Bridge]
(At all)

[Chorus]
This love is not what you want (At all)
This heart will never be yours (At all)
This love is be and end-all (At all)
This love will be your downfall (At all)
This love is be and end-all (At all)
This love will be your downfall (At all)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
