[Verse 1: Matt Berninger]
If you say that it's true
But you don't know what to do
And it's only because you love me
If you tell me that you're sure
And it can't wait anymore
And it's only because you love me

[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Rosanne Cash]
I, I'm gonna crumble
I, I'm gonna crumble
If you say it like that, I'll die
If you say it like that, I'll probably cry
If you say it like that and don't wanna take it back
I'm gonna crumble

[Verse 2: Matt Berninger]
You say, "Don't misread your words
Sometimes, they're gonna hurt"
And it's only because you love me
If you say you're well aware
Of that, but you don't care
And it's only because you love me

[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Rosanne Cash]
I, I'm gonna crumble
I, I'm gonna crumble
If you say it like that, I'll diе
If you say it like that, I'll probably cry
If you say it like that and don't wanna take it back
I'm gonna crumblе
[Bridge: Rosanne Cash]
Get yourself ready to catch what you can of me
Get yourself ready to pick me up
Get yourself ready to catch what you can of me
Get yourself ready to pick me up

[Verse 3: Matt Berninger]
If you say it without intention
You just thought that you should mention
And it's only because you love me
And you want to see me soon
Under less a children's moon
And it's only because you love me

[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Rosanne Cash]
I, I'm gonna crumble
I, I'm gonna crumble
If you say it like that, I'll die
If you say it like that, I'll probably cry
If you say it like that and don't wanna take it back
I'm gonna crumble

[Outro: Matt Berninger & Rosanne Cash]
Get yourself ready to catch what you can of me
Get yourself ready to pick me up
Get yourself ready to catch what you can of me
Get yourself ready to pick me up
