My love and I, we work well together But often we're apart Absence makes the heart lose weight, yeah, Till love breaks down, love breaks down Oh my, oh my, have you seen the weather The sweet September rain Rain on me like, like no other Until I drown, until I drown When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down The lies we tell, They only serve to fool ourselves When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down The lies we tell, They only serve to fool ourselves When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down When love breaks down My love and I, we are boxing clever She'll never crowd me out Fall be free as old confetti And paint the town, paint the town When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down The lies we tell, They only serve to fool ourselves When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down The lies we tell, They only serve to fool ourselves When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down The lies we tell, They only serve to fool ourselves When love breaks down When love breaks down

I broke my promise when I lied to you I hoped that I could turn and return you And I'm waiting for the time to say it's true With a week-end full of winters breathing through That's when something inside us blows That's when something inside us knows That's when something inside us blows Its been more years, than we will admit to We're looking older than, we should do And our willingness to save me from the truth Is the happiest we've been, but it's killing you That's when something inside us blows That's when something inside us knows And that's when something inside us blows Maybe you could save me Within a thousand miles of you Maybe you could save me From this exploding point of view And just maybe, you could save me Taking these stolen pictures of you And just maybe you could save me From a long way down when all the while It was my mistake I know It was my mistake And how long it takes And all this time It was my mistake I know It was my mistake And how long it takes To change this all around That's when something inside us blows That's when something inside us knows That's when something inside us blows All this time around That's when something inside us blows That's when something inside us knows That's when something inside us blows

I sat there with my heart split in two. Not really knowing what to do. I said what is the point it'll never mend. Do I just leave it broken then? These foolish words have no truth. The first step is knowing I'll get through. I know that hill is very hard to climb. It may be miles high. Behold the one who stands: No matter, what it takes. The one who never stops Even when the heart breaks. I'll sing until the end of time. Nothing will stop Me from the end goal it is mine. Reaching to the top. I'll sing until the end of time. Nothing will stop Me from the end goal it is mine. Reaching to the top. Behold the one who stands: No matter, what it takes. The one who never stops Even when the heart breaks. It's time to take a stand. No more tears, no complaints. Now is the perfect time, to Make my move Through and through. I'll sing until the end of time. Nothing will stop Me from the end goal it is mine. Reaching to the top. Behold the one who always stands No matter what. The one who never stops Even when the heart breaks.

I wish I could be your last goodbye I wish I was your man (I wish I was your man) But I'm not, not even close to what Not even close to what I think I guess I'll keep disappointing you I guess I'll miss the mark again I guess I'm sorry I have this tombstone quality I wish that you could see me here I wish that you could feel me here I don't wanna be the only one to stay for me Look what you've said and done for me No one in the world has a voice that speaks to me Hear what you've said and done to me This morning when the fever broke I closed my eyes and laughed Thinking I can't go home again I can't go home again I know I'm not what I used to be I know I rearranged my head This is life, just keeps on chasing us around Until it catches you, you're dead They say I got right every god damn night That's why I keep it to myself That's why I'm sorry I have this tombstone quality I know you'll never see me here I know you'll never feel me here I don't wanna be the only one to stay for me Look what you've said and done for me No one in the world has a voice that speaks to me Hear what you've said and done to me Tomorrow when this fever brakes I'll close my eyes and laugh I can't go home again I can't go home again I can't go, I can't go home I can't go, I can't go home I can't go, I can't go home I can't go, I can't go home I can't go, I can't go home (I can't go home)

I guess I got a taste for poison I've given up on ever bein well I keep mindin the horizon Diggin for lies I have yet to tell And I wish you were here And softly say my name Calm down all the chemicals tearin through my brain I don't think I've missed you this much Since I was seventeen I'd call you in the morning, but I think this is a dream Cherokee Cherokee Well you'd call those doubts right out of me I see you shinin through the tree tops, But don't feel you pulling strings anymore I still use your old alarm clock Every mornin I get further off the course. And don't I hear you speakin in the noises in this house Airplanes flyin over, shakin all my secrets out Darlin tell me somethin that I don't already know I'm aware of where to find ya it hurts too bad to go To Cherokee Cherokee Well, you call those doubts right out of me It felt like the world was burnin You had stars in your eyes Shinin for a feelin that I can't afford to buy Everything you taught me still rattles in my head I'm stayin off of Main Street, You're talking to the dead In Cherokee Cherokee I wish you'd call these doubts right out of me

I've been living with a curse Combing through the pages of my youth There's a million soggy miles Soaking through the soles of my shoes And I've been staying up all night I don't give a damn to sleep anymore My eyelids are heavy But my dreams don't sing like before And I apologize a thousand times for holding up the show I always had the words, but they don't quite know where to go You said give me one good reason, now give me 20 more Oh, don't give yourself away to settle someone else's score I got the guiltiest conscience Listening for a savior on a Saturday night I got my ear to the ground You got Easter Sunday in your eyes And I apologize if I seem a little overwhelmed I'm thirsty, but the holy keep on pissing in my well I had a purpose and a song that was true But I ain't ever had a lick of sense when it comes to you So try to be patient, try to understand I'm a child, trying to do the work of a man My pockets are empty, I don't own a thing But I'd take a diamond from the sky And put it in your ring

I swore the days were over Of courtin empty dreams I worshipped at the altar of losing everything And the guard I held together Was losing all its shape And in my head you looked so gorgeous It's keeping me awake There's a scar on my soul So let me down easy Break my heart sweetly Like you always do I guess I can't let go Til you wreck me completely Break my heart sweetly Drape me in blue I was never scared of nothin Thought I had a home Life went and broke me open So I carried it alone I'm findin all this well-worn sadness I never knew I kept And I still chase you into heartache Every time you take a step. There's a scar on my soul So let me down easy Break my heart sweetly Like you always do I guess I can't let go Til you wreck me completely Break my heart sweetly Drape me in blue I swore the days were over Of courtin empty dreams I worshipped at the altar Of losing everything But you had a halo made of diamonds Resting on your head I should be dealing with my demons But I'm dodgin' them instead. There's a scar on my soul So let me down easy Break my heart sweetly Like you always do I guess I can't let go Til you wreck me completely Break my heart sweetly Drape me in blue

I can't remember when I've felt this lost I took a wrong turn trying to carry this cross Why'd I have to go and get blessed with a curse I'm chasing death or glory, whichever comes first One for the money, four on the floor You were born last week with your foot in the door I heard truth is what songs are for Nobody gives a damn about songs anymore You had everything you needed to get it all right You said you're gonna get rich if it takes all night Should I go to Texas or Tennessee Or lock myself in Tulsa and throw away the key
