How to Fall

Lyrics

You taught me how to raise the stakes How to punch above my weight But you're not here to see me fail You taught me how to shake the blame You told me I would stay the same How to keep a straight face with the weakest hand But you never taught me how to fall How to keep on running when I lose control You never taught me how to fall You told me about the golden rule: The girlfriend and the swimming pool How they look at what you got, not at what you do You taught me not to overspend How to trust a man you can't befriend Always me and you, never us and them But you never taught me how to fall How to keep my cool at the curtain call You never taught me how to fall I was made for exceptions, not common law You never taught me how to fall But I chose to love you in spite of all your flaws You never taught me how to fall How to keep on running, when l've lost it all You never taught me how to fall
