Falling Back Lyrics

[Intro]
Ayy, yo
Ayy, ayy
Oh

[Verse]
Finding myself
Showing myself
Finding a way to stay outta the way

Holding me back
Supposed to come right back

Guardin' myself while I'm all on display
I know you know all about it
I know, deep down, you feel the same
I know you know how I feel
I know you know how I feel

How do I, how do I feel? How do I feel?
How do you say to my face, "Time heals"?
Then go and leave me again, unreal

I see us fadin' away
I'm still holdin' my breath for the day that you will
See that the effort I make is too real
How can you say that you know how I feel?

Ayy, whee
How can you say you know what I'm feeling? Wait
Know what I'm feeling, wait
You don't feel nothing, wait
Nothing is healing, wait
Time is just killing, wait
How can you say? Wait
You know what I'm feeling, wait
Know what I'm feeling, wait
You don't feel nothing, wait
Time isn't healing, wait
Time is revealing, wait

How are you feeling? Wait
You don't feel nothing
[Break]
Me
Me

[Chorus]
Just like I expected, falling back on me
Falling with I, falling back on me
Falling back on me, falling back on me
Falling back on mе, falling back on me
Falling back on me, falling back on me
Falling back on mе, falling back on me
Falling back on me, falling back on me
Falling back on me
Falling back on me, falling back on me
Falling back on me, falling back on me
Falling back on me, falling back on me
Falling back on me, falling back on me
What would you do without me?
What would you do without me?
I think you would lose everything
Fallin' back on me

[Outro]
Wherever you are, you don't test

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 [?]

About

Genius Annotation

On “Falling Back,” Drake talks about a relationship where he continues to give his all, but the feelings are not reciprocated equally. He has become the fall-back rather than a focal point.

This was the first track played when Drake premiered his seventh studio album on his TABLE FOR ONE radio show on SOUND 42 SiriusXM just ahead of the album’s release.
