Truth burns your eyes
Don't act surprised
Like someone opened the curtains
On the person that I really am inside
What do we have
That we didn't earn?
I'm sick of hiding the power to be the shelter
Your body needs to learn
I wish I had a purpose I could do without the fame
I need someone to miss me when they hear my name
What we find in the ashes then we lose in the fire
I will burn to keep you alive
You were my downfall
You were my downfall, I know
You were my
My heaven, my hell
My thunder, my call
Am I blaming myself
For putting you up so high
With a love so tall
You were my downfall
We slowly build like castles in the sand
Waves are crashing and I become a vessel
To carry what you can't
You give me a purpose when I've had it with the flame
I need someone to hold me when I go insane
What we find in the ashes then we lose in the fire
I will burn to keep you alive
You were my downfall
You were my downfall, I know
You were my
My heaven, my hell
My thunder, my call
Am I blaming myself
For putting you up so high
With a love so tall
You were my downfall
(Downfall, downfall)
You were my
Downfall
You were my downfall, I know
You were my
My heaven, my hell
My thunder, my call
Am I blaming myself
For putting you up so high
With a love so tall
You were my downfall
