Downfall

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Truth burns your eyes Don't act surprised Like someone opened the curtains On the person 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] You were my downfall You were my downfall, I know You were my, my heaven, my hell My thunder, my calm I'm blaming myself For putting you up so high With a love so tall You were my downfall [Verse 2] We slowly build Like castles in the sand Waves are crashing And I become a vessel To carry what you can't [Pre-Chorus] You give me a purpose When I've had it with the fame 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 [Chorus] You were my downfall You were my downfall, I know You were my, my heaven, my hell My thunder, my calm I'm blaming myself For putting you up so high With a love so tall You were my downfall [Bridge] (Downfall, downfall) You were my [Chorus] Downfall You were my downfall, I know You were my, my heaven, my hell My thunder, my calm I'm blaming myself For putting you up so high With a love so tall You were my downfall
