Give me six strings and some reverb
I'll sing songs 'bout how you made me hurt
You show up early for our last date
I'll tell my friends, how you made me wait

Falling apart ain't easy, but falling for you isn't hard; when I'm running from love.

Give me a full tank and a roadmap
I'll be at your front door, before you can
Tell me you need me, for the future 
Ill remind you; I'm still a loser

You've spent years trying to hate me
I forgot all the reasons that you gave me.
Tell me you're sorry for what you did
You'll never forgive me, for what I said

Falling apart ain't easy, but falling for you isn't hard; when I'm running from love.

Falling apart ain't easy, but falling for you can be hard; when I’m messing it up 

Tell all your best friends how our night went
Last impressions come first in the end
Say I kissed you, and didn't mean it 
Play all your games, force me to forfeit

Falling apart should be easy, but falling for you is so hard; 

Falling apart should be easy, but falling for you is so hard; when you can't come clean

Give me a verse to say what I need
I'll sing a line that cuts a bit too deep 
You'll hum along without knowin’ the words
I'll burn all the pain that might have been yours

Falling apart ain't easy, but falling for you is so hard.

Falling apart ain't easy, falling apart is so hard…
When you’re falling in love.

So behind on the whole "song-a-month" goal, so just pushing this one out. 

Special shoutout to Sam Taylor for the drums/co-producing that rhythm section from a different postal code. Much love.

Lyrics:
Why talk when we could touch?
Where we’ve been just ain’t close enough 
Something new could be so real
Just trust yourself and feel
Why lust if we’re in love?
Broken hearts are enough to trust,
So honey let’s just drop the act
Take my hand and—dance

They're calling it a sin,
We're just playin' pretend
Running out of rules to bend

Your body language is so complicated
And I’m getting lost in translation
Your body language is so frustrating
I'm starting to fake it, I hate it

Why leave if we can dance?
You’ve got the moves needed to prove
No one owns you like you own the floor
Turn the music up and shut the— door
Who taught you how to laugh?
Faking smiles and making plans
You’ve got me right where you need
Dripping with sweat and sympathy 
Why run if it feels right?
Taking numbers and wasting time
You thought you knew yourself
But you could forget tonight

They're calling it a sin,
We're just playin' pretend
Running out of rules to bend

Your body language is so complicated
And I’m getting lost in translation
Your body language is so frustrating
I'm starting to fake it, I hate it

Caught up in all of our loneliness
blurring the lines of wrong and right
shedding the weight of holiness 
finding ourselves while we’re losing sight 
I just needed some truth
No need to go easy
Bankrupt my youth, girl please
Smile, wave, fake happy

I just needed some truth
No need to go easy
Bankrupt my youth, girl please
Smile, wave, fake happy

Your body language is so complicated
And I’m getting lost in translation
Your body language is so frustrating
I'm starting to fake it, I hate it

"Body Language" - Colton Williams

"Marry You" - Colton Williams

I wrote this song last year about what it's like falling in love for those in an era of read receipts and DMs. 

Hope it helps.
