Falling (Song)

## Falling

"**Falling**"is a song by American singer-songwriter Kyle Pfeiffer, under his stage name Blacklite District. Released on February 14, 2020 through Pfeiffer's independent record label AK19 Entertainment, it is the lead single from his album *You're Welcome* (2020).

When he was sent the beat to "Falling", Pfeiffer was unsure if he would use it in a song. However, his producer Young Kxge felt his voice would nicely pair up with the music and pushed him to use it. Eight months after its intial release, "Falling" spent eight weeks on the *Billboard* Mainstream Rock Airplay charts and peaked at #33. The radio program *Skratch 'N Sniff* played it on over 65 of its affiliates, and the song reached the Top 20 on *The Pulse*, Pfeiffer's local radio station.

Rainimator used the song in his *Minecraft* animation of the same name as part of an ongoing collaboration between the two on YouTube. When the animation was released on June 9, 2020, it reached #3 on Trending in the United States.

## Lyrics

[Chorus]
Hey, I don't wanna watch you slip away
I don't wanna watch you go away
I don't wanna know that you're falling
Hey, I don't wanna miss you everyday
I don't wanna watch you fade away
I don't wanna know that you're falling
I cannot know that you're falling
I cannot know that you're falling

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna know that you're not here
It doesn't feel right without you near
I know it'll traumatize me
Terrify me, horrify me
I don't wanna lay awake at night
Full of regret, hanging on too tight
I know it'll traumatize me
Terrify me, horrify me

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, won't you wait for me?
Hey, won't you stay?

[Chorus]
Hey, I don't wanna watch you slip away
I don't wanna watch you go away
I don't wanna know that you're falling
Hey, I don't wanna miss you everyday
I don't wanna watch you fade away
I don't wanna know that you're falling
I cannot know that you're falling
I cannot know that you're falling

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, won't you wait for me?
Hey, won't you stay?
Hey, won't you wait for me?
Hey, won't you stay?

[Chorus]
Hey, I don't wanna watch you slip away
I don't wanna watch you go away
I don't wanna know that you're falling, hey
Hey, I don't wanna watch you slip away
I don't wanna watch you go away
I don't wanna know that you're falling
