THE FALL

Verse 1
I can´t find a reason, you want to leave your keys
And the only thing I know, you´re ripping my heart out
And all the words you say, like you just don´t care
I-I-I´m gonna pray , U-U-U, that you´re gonna pay
Verse 2
Have you found someone new, why dont you tell the truth?
I´v my suspisions, by the look on your face
The fact that you´re avasive, makes me go crazy
And you should know by now, your ripping my heart out

Chorus 1
We used to be in colours, we used to have it all
Now I´m hardly breathing, is this the fall?
We used to talk for hours, we used to share it all
But now we´re in silence, with our faces down
Down down down down

Verse 3
I dont want to fight, but tell me where you´ve slept last night
No way to do this right, you´re ripping my heart out
Our love has fallen, deep down I´m crawlin´
I-I-I´m gonna pray , U-U-U, that you´re gonna stay

Chorus 2
We used to be in colours, we used to have it all
Now I´m hardly breathing, is this the fall?
We used to talk for hours, we used to share it all
But now we´re in silence, with our faces down
Down down down down
This is the fall
Down down down
This is the fall




down down down
This is the fall
