It all falls down
Heaven ain't just in the sky
Your pot of gold
Might not be
Where you were told
It might be in my eyes
It all rains down
And washes away
Everything is still
Right where you left it
At the end of the day
But it all fades to grey
The black ain't so dark
The white ain't as nice
Every heart falls apart
At some time
Bring me back
Into your life again
It all feels right
To me
But maybe
You don't have
The luxury I do
Maybe your feelings
Aren't what I thought they were
I just remember
You tellin' me
Everything you
Wanted to do
Do I fit into that
Do you need some time
To figure it out
To paint me in your picture
And steal away
Some sort of relief
From the life
You're leavin' behind
It's all fallin' down
I'm not that good
But I'm tryin' to be
If you think I should
I'll do anything
Anything you want
Just don't give up on it
Give me another chance
I know it's been quite a while
But waitin' for you
To come back
Was worth every second
It wasn't a bad thing to do
Even though it all falls down
Back when we were
So much younger than we are now
You said I was what
You were looking for
I thought the same of you
Isn't that why we
Kept on piecin' together
Every bit of what
We always heard was
What you need to have
In a memory
It's been years
But I haven't lost my hopes
Even when it all falls down
I found an old photograph
It's a little bent up
But about as good as new
I think it's better than
It was then
Cuz every time I hold it
I can't stop thinkin' of you
You didn't call me
Since graduation day
I've done so many things
That I didn't want to
Because I thought
You'd be hurt
But you weren't my girl
You gave that up long ago
I gave up wishin'
But never gave up hopin'
Even when it all fell down
My world was crashin'
All around me
Into a sea of
Everything I couldn't
Stand to have near me
Everything I couldn't
Stand to be
I really want you to tell me
Does any of this
Change your image of me
Even when it all falls down
Could you ever
Give this one more chance
Once again
Even if it all falls down
Should I just give up
Cuz it's all fallin' down
Maybe I'm livin'
In a land of false beliefs
But the hands
That wanna hold you
Could be yours
When you want 'em
It might be hard to believe
But I never stopped hopin'
Even when it all fell down
If you wait long enough,
It all falls down
Oh Why, Oh Why
It took you quite a while to see
Just exactly
What you did to me
You could not open up your eyes
Cuz for years
You'd been blinded
By your own lies
And I ain't never
Felt this way before
So alone, so alone
And wonderin what for
Weren't you the one that up and left
Though I did you wrong
Didn't you tell me I'm the best
I know I might not be perfect
I made mistakes
But who doesn't
And I don't deserve it
Love, love, love
I don't believe it
If you ask me again
I could leave it
It's a lie
That someone once started
To tell the innocent
And the brokenhearted
So why even try
A four letter word
So venomous, a curse
Of all untruths, the worst
Oh why, oh why
What happened
Once we promised forever
Who did what to who first
And now we're not together
It never depended on whether
I did you right or did you wrong
Or on that lie, that curse
It depended on how
Much you could control me
So when I said I had enough
You left me here
Broken, hopeless, and livin solely
On emptiness and ackwardness
So.... love, love, love
Could you have at least once
Not faked it
Meant what you said,
Kept a promise,
Never to break it
For a while,
I could barely take it
But now... love, love, love
Matters not
And... neither do you
Love, love, love
I don't believe it
If you ask me again
I could leave it
It's a lie
That someone once started
To tell the innocent
And the brokenhearted
So why even try
A four letter word
So venomous, a curse
Of all untruths, the worst
Oh why, oh why
I think maybe of all the words
You told me
Nothing mattered less
Than that curse of a word
And no moment mattered less
Than when you'd hold me
So hold on to something else
And remember
Every time you're lonely yourself
That he ain't half of what I am
And he can't love you like I can
Or like I could have
How I always meant to and trie
d to
And if you'd have let me
How I would have
So... love, love, love
Love, love, love
I don't believe it
If you ask me again
I could leave it
It's a lie
That someone once started
To tell the innocent
And the brokenhearted
So why even try
A four letter word
So venomous, a curse
Of all untruths, the worst
Oh why, oh why
Oh why, oh why, oh why
Oh why, oh why, oh why
Why do I ever try
Why did I believe your lies
Oh tell me.... why
Broken Angel
You're too far away
You're too much for me to take
You torture me
You take away
Any peace I prayed to save
Every time I hear your voice
Or I even hear your name...
I go insane
I feel the same
Creeping feelings of regret
And I forget to hold my head high
I begin to bear the blame
I give into the temptation
That contemplation has erased
Confusion, constant oblation
For anything more than this serious situation
That I wish I did not have to face
You were once
The angel of my dreams
I forgot to let myself see
What you really did to me
We're broken in different ways
I'm broken down
Looking all around
For any sense of salvation
I wish you could find the same
Because in your brain
You seem to think that it's ok
To leave someone hurting in such a way
Breaking hearts, tearing apart
All inclination
To move past sentimental sensation
Broken angel, maybe of my own creation
We were walking wearily
Into a snare we could not see
We almost let ourselves
Be tied together for life
And that's not right
Because the truth about me
Is I was never anything
That you really wanted
With your halo burning bright
Really an illusion
If you say so, I just might
End all of my confusion
By cursing you by name
By bursting out of all my seams, all the same
You were once
The angel of my dreams
I forgot to let myself see
What you really did to me
We're broken in different ways
I'm broken down
Looking all around
For any sense of salvation
I wish you could find the same
Because in your brain
You seem to think that it's ok
To leave someone hurting in such a way
Breaking hearts, tearing apart
All inclination
To move past sentimental sensation
Broken angel, maybe of my own creation
You really were everything
I ever wanted
You were my all, my serenity
But now right in front of me
Is the realization
That there is no meant to be
There is no pre-planned one to set you free
And I rushed and put off all chance of patience
My life, to my disappointment
Is a life without you
Nothing more or less will ever do
I simply cannot avoid it
I cannot spend another day wasting
Waiting for a rescue, your invitation
You were once
The angel of my dreams
But no my nightmare become flesh
I forgot to let myself see
What you really did to me
We're broken in different ways
I'm broken down
Beaten, defeated, denied, your utmost regret
Looking all around
For any sense of salvation
I wish you could find the same
Because in your brain
You seem to think that it's ok
To leave someone hurting in such a way
Breaking hearts, tearing apart
All inclination, all hope, all absence of hesitation
To move past sentimental sensation
Broken angel, maybe of my own creation
My darkest creation
