You started it
You never quit
I'm starting to think that you wanted it
Just let it out, just let it out
The elephant that's in the room
Is tired of listening to you
You started it, you started it, you started it

I never wanted to say it
But maybe I wasn't meant for you
Feels like we're watching and waiting
For one of us to just tell the truth
Maybe you're way over thinking
We're only humans after all
Instead of fighting and drinking
Maybe you and me should have a talk

When it all comes tumbling down
Know that I still want you around
When our hearts are crushed and we come undone
I believe in us, 'cause you're still the one
When it all comes tumbling down

Don't hold it in
And over think,
'Cause nobody knows what is happening
When I destroy, just making noise
I know I'm lost and you are too
I love the commotion when I'm with you
You started it, you started it, you started it

When it all comes tumbling down
Know that I still want you around
When our hearts are crushed and we come undone
I believe in us, 'cause you're still the one
When it all comes tumbling down,

(I want you around)
And if these hearts will beat again
(You never know, you never know)
And if these words are sinking in
(You never know, you never know, yeah)

I never wanted to say this,
But, baby I'll take the fall

When it all comes tumbling down
Know that I still want you around
When our hearts are crushed and we come undone
I believe in us, 'cause you're still the one
When it all comes tumbling down
I want you around

Baby tumble down with me
Baby tumble down with me
