  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
